Great design but not sure why this needs to be iOS only and why it needs to be installed to the homescreen.
I still don't think it's better than a native app because it took 30 seconds to actually show anything from a black screen and then a minute or so to load the data on stable fast WiFi (bet it'd be worse over 3G).
A native app has UI code and fancy animations on board and if this was an initial impression of something I wasn't really interested in observing, i'd uninstall it straight away. Granted it does load faster on subsequent launches (caching maybe?) but it's the initial launch which matters to me.

Is the initial launch not simply comparable to downloading a native app from the app-store?
