Advertised to work on both entry level tablets as well as high-end tablets with enterprise specifications, the operating system offers multitasking, safer sharing, instant launch of applications through the menu bar on the left, effortless switching between applications among other features." The tablet version of the OS will also be presented at Mobile World Congress later this month. Also featured at SlashCloud.

You didn't misjudge anything. You just didn't say ANYTHING related to that in your original sentence, there was absolutely no correlation to be made and anyone could've made up their own perfectly valid interpretation that had nothing to do with the ecosystem.
If you want to say something, say it. It's not fucking hard.

The developer info on the Ubuntu website says that you can use C/C++ for apps that need performance and QML/JS/HTML5 for lightweight, website wrapper type stuff.
