Note that I stress the *think* since we really don't know for sure. What Apple did was allow you to create an button to what was essentially a website that lived off of the iPhone. As I understand it, Palm is actually using HTML 5 which includes client-side storage capabilities, plus a JSON-based message bus to tap into the phone (camera? GPS? other native apps?). So you're really not just making a special website to view from the phone, you're writing something that lives on the phone, and taps into the phone, but using web languages. There isn't a whole lot released on this yet, but <a href="http://developer.palm.com/" rel="nofollow">http://developer.palm.com/</a> does have some clarification. I think that's why they're not getting torched like Apple did. But again, nobody knows till more of the Palm dev docs show up. @Mizidy I *think* the development platform is going to be different than what Apple did.

I wonder why Palm is getting a bit of a pass on this. That being said, almost 2 years later and a number of hours on iPhone Safari design, I actually agree that the web as a platform is a decent choice.
