some people think the web is going to die and native apps are going to rule. I'm not one of them. I'm guessing the "web based apps are crap" agenda is important to those who stand to lose from less people developing native apps (less chance for platform lock in, less projects for native app developers etc. ), and from those who used web based apps developed by not so capable developers. That does not mean that web based apps will (or should) replace native apps. There will always be enough applications where native will do the work better, even as processing power grows, but to say the web is going to die is just wishful thinking on the part of those who want it to die. Ain't gonna happen.
