This makes me think you may have interpreted my criticism as either PhoneGap or Objective-C bias. For the record, I believe in the right tool for the job, so it does not at all bother me that 37signals went HTML5/PhoneGap/etc. What bothers me is the slight of hand with the principals they are selling. In some broad respects, 37signals is the Oprah of the web biz - I know that sounds nuts, but I do believe that they sell a philosophy of betterment of the small business. There is a social responsibility, in my opinion, to uphold the tenets or at least explain why they are now different.
