But if they can use this to kick-start a development eco-system, they might have a better shot at licensing WebOS...

That might be what they're planning, but who on earth would develop for the platform when it has such an uncertain future? About the only thing we seem to know for sure is that WebOS, since HP bought Palm, has seemed destined for printers. Are developers really going to write for that? Seems Windows Phone 7 is a better bet these days...
