"If Android is brought to the point where it supports web apps built for ChromeOS there will be very little reason to develop native Android apps." From what I've seen, the gap between a native Android app and web apps is getting bigger, not smaller. Among other things, the Android API includes: 1. A SIP-based VoIP protocol stack 2. Near Field Communications 3. Gyroscope and other sensors 4. Multiple cameras support 5. Speech recognition engines Even if these things were available tomorrow to web apps, developers might still choose the native option because a) There would be millions of 'old' devices that only supported the native API; and b) There would be thousands of developers who were familiar with the native API
