I think he meant in terms of technology, not in terms of development cycle.

I wouldn't say there's
no application or third-party device ecosystem. There are already software vendors on board (e.g., Amazon, Skype, QuickOffice). A big question will be if the ecosystem will pick up.
Where HP can really differentiate the TouchPad is in the OS interface. For my phone, I've moved to Android, but I miss WebOS often. I find myself wanting to swipe for actions that take multiple taps on Android. There's elegance in WebOS that I just don't find in iOS or Android.
I think the TouchPad can be a contender, if they can put their premium apps front and center and make people want them, and convince developers that there's a market there.
