I disagree; web apps are just warming up. Native apps are still the go-to for a seamless experience, but I think that will change. As devices develop greater fragmentation continues (now seeping into the iOS echo system by the looks of it) apps will need to get better at being responsive. Web apps have already figured out a lot of the challenges surrounding responsive design, and will continue to do so. Once devices become powerful enough that there's no significant difference between web and mobile things will change dramatically. I see Google being the next to adopt native HTML5 and JS (after Microsoft's lesser known adoption in Windows Phone and Windows 8). Google's support for native web apps will put pressure on Apple and they'll go the same way.
- cnaut 13y agoI can definitely see Google merging Chrome OS with Android
- chinpokomon 13y agoThey're under the same umbrella now too. I personally think that will be a central theme in Android 5. Imaging how you'll be able to run Chrome packaged apps on you PC, tablet, phone, and Chromebook, with the same application and data stored in the cloud, synchronized everywhere. You only have to look at the changes they made in KitKat to see that Android is destined to become ChromeOS for mobile devices.
