I agree with you. I have been playing around with some mobile frameworks (phonegap, titanium and rhomobile) and I must say that coding a native app for different mobile platforms isnt too attractive to me. using any of the aforementioned frameworks, you can develop mobile apps that will run across most major mobile OS's like iOS, blackberry and Android, although you might not get a 100% native app, the pain of learning all the SDK's of each mobile platform is skipped. Its just like Java's once stated goal of "write once, run anywhere"
- ashitvora 16y agoAgree with you but why even use Phonegap, Titanium or other frameworks since they are meant to covert a web app to native app. Developing an app is only 50%. Rest is going thru app approval process. If app isn't approved, value of that app is ZERO. Is it not a good idea to develop a web app and make money adopt subscription model to make money. We can straight away bring down the cost by 30% which goes to Apple otherwise. What say?
- aitoehigie 16y agoI also agree, but my point is this, using a framework like Phonegap or Rhomobile etc, will give my mobile application access to some features of the host platform like notification, file access, events, sound, video, audio etc, if required. this is something a web app cannot do on a mobile device.
