Web apps are already a better solution for a lot of kinds of apps - apart from some additional eye candy that you can implement with native apis. Full control, no approval process and instant updates. It is already happening on the desktop sw for the vast majority of users (whether we like it or not) and I can't see how this shouldn't be the future of mobile apps as well. Browsers are not inherently slow. They're slow if you want to make them do things they were not designed for. Take real-time 3D, for instance. We just need standardized APIs to do things like O3D (http://www.youtube.com/html5 http://www.youtube.com/html5) and we're set. MobileSafari, the PalmOS and the Android browser are all built on webkit. So here's where these things will happen in the near future. An API for real-time DSP would be another milestone, in my opinion.
