I agree. We will be migrating to html 5 soon but even where we are today,
the pages work on the iPhone family (including iPod touch, iPad) as well as
on android. So, while I can imagine preparing a Java wrapper for android and
perhaps even an objective-c wrapper for apple to wrap the web site (not as
if I know just what that would take), I really do not want to write separate
apps for each possible device. Writing a web application with a UI that is
good for a phone and also works well for a desktop/laptop/pad computer
should mean we can single-source an app for all such platforms (knock on
wood), even if specifying different css for different devices.
I can imagine writing phone-OS-specific apps for something that can be run
without being on the web, but for many SaaS or old-fashioned data processing
apps, html 5 pages seems like a good idea to me. --dawn

While the bragging rights may be different for creating a webapp vs. a
true mobile app in Java, C, etc., the features, portability, and
maintainability available today with frameworks like jQuery Mobile are just
astounding. And the price ain't bad either. Then again, being able to
create a respectable mobile webapp with nothing more than a simple editor
is
all so... Multivalue.
