HTML5 tome is running the app on your device, but manipulating content on on Server X (yours, or hosted elsewheres), just like those 3D games that do the grunt work online.

Sailfish? Native apps through Qt, HTML5 and Android. Can't lose, there. They're as open as open can be right now, especially with regards to the mobile universe. So yeah, not even same league technically speaking, as other the OS'.
Maemo, Meego, Mer and Sailfish are all same team as far as I am concerned, considering their code-base, grass-roots nature, goals and idealistic ethics. Maemo is on its own in reality, but again, the points I make and when you realise they're all doing something to target a market specifically until Sailfish which is built bottom's-up to expand from smallest (smartphones) up to mid (big tablets), it's usually no problem to build for lowest common denominator and with all the build systems being open, automation magic happens (at least you doe-monkey's make it seem like that!)
Just to throw it out there, I still wish for the day we get an OS and mobile device that can make calls, play movies, and can actually dock to my KB, mouse and monitor at home easily (BT was invented for a reason) for my officey things. The applications are already there, like Kingsoft (can't trust it, being free and closed binary from China...it's just not in line with their entire culture right now), Google Doc's any online office really so on so forth.

Bring it on!

And it's better than Sailfish, which it probably wont be.
I assume it is just three companies who want to keep all the toys to themselves, building sandcastles that are lopsided but "look like their vision", rather than working together and building a huge sandcastle like Android but that would look like the compromise of all their design goals...

Anyone got info how will it be updated?
Will it be like linux versioning/rolling distros or a whole firmware as iOS and Android?
If you cold update at least userspace like on normal distros i will want one.
I hate when manufacturer decides to drop support and you are left with old version even when the HW is still good enough for your need.

(btw, re: RAM more is merrier - more RAM also means more power draw. So there are limits to what's appropriate in a small mobile device.)
