everything he said was true and compelling. however there remain some arguments in favor of the App Store (unfortunately, in my mind) with the super simple purchase ability for users being possibly the most compelling. The large audience is still attractive but I think the benefit of this to developers is decreasing as the massive number of apps and updates cause so much noise it gets harder for any one app to stick out or be found at all. I've written 4 of the apps in the store now and have reached a point where I look hard for excuses to not make anymore, because I think in the long run it goes against my best interest and that of my clients. The best reason for a native mobile app is if it truly needs fast performance and/or offline access, for example.
