Apple's proprietary web.
It's true the distinction between networked native apps and networked browser apps is logically arbitrary; but the practical distinction is that the web is an open standard, cross platform, widely adopted, whereas Apple's native apps are tightly integrated with the device, giving them faster response and a better managed user experience. If iOS is everywhere, then you get the best of both worlds.
Can Apple topple the web? If they are better at providing what users want, yes.
- wunderfool 15y ago"Can Apple topple the web?" well, then assuming a web page === a web "app" the number of websites available to users is probably one million times the number of apps... the number of new web sites that are started each day is probably one thousand times the number of new apps.... apple has a ways to go and yes, i'll go there...you can't "kill" the real web if you do not allow users to access copious amounts of hardcore pornography
