jQuery mobile and HTML5 have the potential to significantly disrupt the mobile app industry.
However, the "App Store" model still retains significant strength in the fulfillment of delivery of content to the phone, meaning, someone can currently search for what they want, be given multiple options, and execute accordingly.
Maybe what the HTML5 and mobile community needs is "App Store" type functionality?

The PlayBook supports HTML5 apps and we pulled a jQM app from RIM's store because it was so unbearably slow. Another client just wanted a quote on "fully portable" app, I downloaded some that were built with PhoneGap+jQM and they were terribly slow, on an iPhone 4S. Just two anecdotes, but what seemed reasonable in desktop Chrome has not worked out for us yet on mobile.
- dhimes 15y agoThis is good to know. I'm currently wondering how I should handle the mobile version of a web app I'm making. I had thought that people could just use the web site, but it sounds like that's a little far fetched (I'm heavy on javascript, light on server scripting). Of course, I could change that for the mobile site if I needed to, but then I have two things to keep in sync so I'd rather try to avoid that situation. What about local storage? Seems like an app is the way to go for that.
