I think that a title of 'Browser vs. Native' instead of 'Web vs. Native' might be more accurate, since the web is so much more than just a UI... most 'apps' I think are just web apps with a 'native' GUI, not disconnected applications in and of themselves. PPK ignores the original reason that the browser won so long ago though... it is the universal GUI for the Internet. We've had access to 'native' extensions for web apps for a long time (Java applets, Flash, Silverlight, ActiveX, etc, etc), yet these things are all but dead. Eventually the Apple vs. Android war will probably go nuclear, and users will demand that things 'just work' too. If its time to revisit this conversation, then fine... but there is nothing new under the sun.
