I'm so glad to see a heavy hitter like 37signals coming out in opposition to "app madness". As I've commented here before, I see the current native app trend as nothing more than a replay of the browser wars of the early 2000's - folks developing with IE specific features etc. The natural tendency for programmers is to do less work. This native app bollocks is purely the result of commercial interests of device manufacturers: if you make it harder to develop cross platform stuff then developers must choose a platform. If developers must choose a plaform that means one platform will have all the coolest stuff, driving sales of the device. I own and love my Nokia e72 and was really pissed off when 37signals released an iPhone app rather than creating a mobile web app. The Nokia e72 browser probably won't cope with the HTML5ness of the Basecamp offering but at least there's hope! I will never use an iPhone because I need a qwerty keyboard (try typing find . -name "*.php" | xargs grep -il "function someFunction" on your iphone keyboard - or try editing a file in vim via SSH ... yeah, didn't think so). At least with this trend maybe my next phone will have access to mobile Highrise goodness!
