Until another supplier announces a tablet based on WebOS, there is a relatively tiny userbase, and no way for that userbase to grow. I can't imagine many developers spending a lot of time doing more than finishing off applications that were almost ready for release. Would you spend time on an app for iOS or Android, or for WebOS?

As a matter of fact, after price drop, ironically, Touchpad is way more popular than it was just 4 weeks ago. It even surpassed iPad sales on Amazon and other online retailers (for those weeks or days I mean)

But these are bargain buyers, who probably aren't as attractive to developers as those paying higher prices for iPads, Tabs, Xooms, etc...
