This is one of the reasons that Apple is dragging its feet on making HTML5 web apps work on par with native apps, despite Jobs' anti-Flash memo two and a half years ago. Is it? I instead suspect it's because making HTML 5 web apps work on par with native apps would require Apple to build out dozens (if not hundreds) of new, platform-specific extensions and APIs that would bring the web stack on par with Cocoa Touch. It's going to be some time before we see HTML 5 web apps that are truly on par with native apps. And before citing WebOS, note that they added dozens of new, platform-specific extensions and APIs to make apps running on their stack as feature rich and responsive as apps on other platforms. I don't consider WebOS apps to be "web apps", as they only work on their platform. I also note that Apple has one of the best mobile web stacks out there. I'd say they're only bested by Chrome for Android, and not by much. That's not a sign of a company that's dragging their feet on HTML5 support.
