Mobile Web Apps: Where Are We Now?

Awhile back I wrote an article for CodeTalk called Web Apps As First Class Citizens in which I advocated use of tools like PhoneGap to build web-based multi-use iPhone and Android applications instead of the richer but client-specific native toolkits (where appropriate).

Well, it's been almost a year since I wrote that, and native applications still rule the roost in both the iPhone and Android camps. And it doesn't look like the situation is going to change any time in the near future, either. But that's not to say that we're entirely without hope that mobile web apps will one day stand shoulder to shoulder with their native counterparts!
