That's just not true. In the latest iPhone OS you can have a webapp run offline...

  Any reasonably interesting web app is going to do it's "work" on the server. A web app can run it's UI in offline mode but you've scooped it out's brains.

    Either you meant "it's data", or you're doing it wrong. http://sproutcore.com http://sproutcore.com http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/09/chris-anderson-couchdb-relaxing-offline.html http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/09/chris-anderson-couchd...

      Wow, you can store data and retrieve it. Why do we need web browsers at all -- Microsoft released Access decades ago!

        Impressively worthless comment. If MS Access apps were free to develop and worked on any platform in useful sandboxes, your sarcasm would be warranted. Instead you make yourself look like as idiot, suggesting that the Web is popular because people didn't know about Access.

          Whoosh That's the sound of my comment going over your head. If you think the web is popular because it's a cross platform sandboxed version of Access (which is essentially what you were suggesting) then you're the idiot. There's only so many useful applications you can make by simply storing and retrieving very simple data locally.
