I wouldn't look at the NY Post as the cutting edge of any trend...I think it's just laziness on their part:)
I think if anything things will slowly migrate to the web. HTML5 app is the new buzzword.
Companies are responding to a couple issues...one is the increase in subscription fees demanded by Apple, and loss of control generally. The other is simply having to go through the trouble of delivering applications to multiple platforms in multiple programming languages.
Building stuff in HTML5/ JS solves these issues, since all browsers and devices will presumably support them and continue to moving forward. I don't think there's any question this is the platform of the future even if a few compatibility issues still need to be worked out (at this point choice of video codec and 3D/ WebGL support).
- What you basically describe here is the "Google way" which I think is great. The final battle really is the video codec battle... place your bets!ToxicDesign
- Yeah, it really is the Google vision.ukit
