If you can get HTML5 to do what you need it makes a ton of sense. You can even get a nice icon on the desktop. I have some "apps" on my phone that work this way

If you can get HTML5 to do what you need it makes a ton of sense. You can even get a nice icon on the desktop. I have some "apps" on my phone that work this way. But apps and the App Store aren't going away and its developers aren't suckers. You should perhaps be trying to create apps that are connected with a revenue stream independent of Apple. No need to give them the same status as the IRS.
