HTML5 web apps delivered over the network, or bundled as native apps using http://phonegap.com http://phonegap.com are good enough right now. Use jQuery Mobile, or jQTouch, or joApp, or XUI, etc. Don't make the Lotus 1-2-3 mistake: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/09/18.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/09/18.html "IBM was starting to ship a few computers with 80286 chips, which could address more memory, but Lotus didn’t think there was a big enough market for software that needed a $10,000 computer to run. So they squeezed and squeezed. They spent 18 months cramming 1-2-3 for DOS into 640K ... By the time [Lotus] 123 3.0 was shipping, everybody had 80386s with 2M or 4M of RAM" Same thing applies to smart phones at the moment.
