Comment on Ask HN: Mobile dev - Bypass apps and go straight to HTML5?

Comments

making web apps as polished as web apps is very hard, however you get a lot of the way there and its 10% of the effort.

You can still do distribution through the appstore with a uiwebview, I am not sure exactly how stringent apple are in this regard.

However its fairly obvious that html(5) is the future of these things, and the turnaround on html applications is far far faster, so yeh I would recommend going html5 until you have strong signals that a native app is needed.
