This article is a bit sensationalist; Amazon demoed their Kindle web app back in December when the Chrome Web Store was launching; before Apple announced the policy in question. It's not an "iPad web app", it's a WebKit web app.
- tomkr 15y agoI agree, people are making it look like these applications are used to outsmart Apple or something. While in fact when the iPhone was originally announced Steve Jobs encouraged webapps, as there was no native SDK available yet. Sure, Apple likes their 30%, but it's not like they are trying to prevent you from running webapps. I think with some high-profile examples people will start to get used more to fancy offline capable apps straight from the web. That might make the whole app store hurdle look a little smaller.
