I don't think the web can ever be as fast moving as a native environment. That's one of the major downfalls with being compatible with all platforms.

- rzbn 15y agoFor most apps the speed that the web provides is going to be sufficient however there are some resource intensive apps like games that will stay on the native environment. Just like the desktop os. Even games on the native environment is being challenged by OnLive.
- rafcavallaro 15y agoAdd to this the fact that it is very much in the interest of one of the larger mobile players, Apple, to keep the native experience superior to the html5 mobile browser experience in order to differentiate their iOS offering from a generic "mobile web browser." For example, WebGL is only available for iAds, not for mobile Safari web apps, while openGL is of course available to native iOS apps.
