Truly agree with you that Native mobile application is published through the major application stores and developed for a specific mobile platform and native Smartphone application resides locally on the device and is published through the major application stores. While Web-based mobile application is a cross-platform and fully accessible via mobile browsers and web site that has been designed appropriately to fit size, performance, and appearance of a mobile device, thanks a lot.

I have been preaching to people for years that both mobile web and native apps play complimentary roles in a fully-integrated web strategy, and that both are necessary to provide the best contextual user experience in any environment. It is great to see an article like this support the concept. Treasure Hunt App

This is a fantastic post. At the end of the day, the decisions come down the nuances of specific business objectives, audience needs and context. There is no right answer, but based on search volume and increasing mobile traffic/usage, most businesses should start with at least a basic mobile site. I've written a post on the subject here: http://www.acsysinteractive.com/blog/mobile-so-mu...

Cross platform can be a solution. smartface Designer allow you to build mobile apps without writing any line of code. Also, it works for Symbian,Java, BB… It is not browser based it generates native output files like jar,sisx….

I guess soon we will be able to develope games in HTML5 / Javascript. This can be the future, as more mobile devices are used with internet. Check out these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RRnyChxijA&fe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPVhPGOLe7c http://rocketpack.fi/engine/

Excellent analysis and great article. I think web apps will make a huge leap forward in the coming 24 months but there will always be cases where native apps trump web apps - it all boils down to the business requirements. I created this dynamic spreadsheet to help my company decide which approach (native or web) was right in a given project scenario. http://ipadcto.com/mobile-apps-native-or-web/

Now we have the Google Web App Store, the game changes. Any comments on these new developments, Jon Arne?
