This was a pretty interesting article, and from the title alone I had absolutely no idea this was actually a discussion about the relative merits of web apps and native apps on phones, with the main claim being that we've nearly reached the point where web apps are viable and that Android happens to support this better at the moment. I suspect many others were caught off guard too (and perhaps did not even read it), given how many comments here are just addressing the generic issue of iOS vs. Android and all the drama that comes along with someone emphatically announcing that they've at last switched to the other side. This is why I think that rhetoric phrased in terms of one camp vs. another is often greatly counter-productive.
