True. Which is why the Netflix app is basically just an HTML app with a thin native wrapper.
When native means only iOS then it make sense to just write a native version instead of a mobile web app, but when it means having to write a version (or two) for iOS, one for Android, one for Blackberry and one for Windows Mobile 7 then it makes a lot more sense to write a mobile HTML version that works on all of them.
And then there's the same old update headache.
