No. There should be more than a billion smartphones/tablets sold, what do you think is the ratio of those who can do what you told to those who have no idea? And what is the ratio of those who can willing to do it instead of just using the app?
And there is also the issue that if your app is just the web page, it is either universal and thus crap on all devices, or highly customized for each platform at which point it would be easier and less messy just to write it natively.

- jay_kyburz 11y agoYeah right, I was excited by the idea that we might be able to download all kinds of cool UI's for our phones. I was thinking of developing a really minimalistic almost commandline interface for my notes, address book, dialer and calendar. I would love to see what cool creative people could come up with.
