>WebOS applications will be created with standard Web development tools such as CSS, JavaScript, and HTML that run on a version of the Webkit engine. This doesn't mean they are "Web applications," which require a connection to the Internet to work. It does, however, mean they are (in general) more lightweight and less-resource intensive than iPhone applications, which are developed using the Objective-C programming language.

This is the first I've heard of that. I'm not saying it's not true, but Objective-C I wouldn't call Objective-C more resourceful than something running in a browser without having numbers to back me up. Anyone know if this is true?
