I used to think that, but honestly the desktop lost in 2005 with the rise of Ajax. There's probably no way back. And HTML5 is even doing markup elegant.

- pjmlp 14y ago> There's probably no way back. Yes there is, native applications in mobile devices.
- maigret 14y agoIf anything, I see the same pattern on mobile as on desktop: - Native is the only way at the beginning - Multiple platforms appear - Devs begin to see the cost of developing x times the same app - Browsers get more powerful and easier to program, native functions are made available on the browser. Have you seen Boot to Gecko? I've seen that in real on a phone, that looked real good. Don't know how the day to day use is, but is not mature yet and will probably gain capabilities. I see lots of potential in that kind of technology.
