- axod 19y agoI'm not so sure it matters TBH. What can you do in a native app that you can't do with some javascript and a pretty webapp these days :/ The days of native apps is ending. On the desktop, on mobile phones, everywhere.
- jacabado 19y agoSave energy? IMHO it matters a lot! Javascript-based apps are bad enough on desktop, I don't want to have them in my mobile device.
- axod 19y agoI'd rather be able to use the same app on my phone as I do on my desktop, as I do in an internet cafe, as I do on my wii, etc etc. Webapps are the true "Write once run anywhere".
- Tichy 19y agoGather GPS information and mash it up with google maps? I hope there will be browser APIs for that kind of thing.
- axod 19y agoTrue, although hopefuly that'll just get exposed to javascript. In the same way that the orientation of the iPhone (portrait/landscape) is exposed to javascript.
- Tichy 19y agoYeah, that is what I meant by browser API. I have no experience with mobile browsers yet - I guess you can't install plugins for them, as with the desktop ones?
- jamescoops 19y agoreality is that iphone is a tiny tiny proportion of all mobile handsets - there's a much bigger market out there called the mobile internet
