#2Oh man, they should really tell Instagram / Angry Birds that their software will work as a webpage and that the user experience on a mobile browser will be that much better.

Uh, Angry Birds quite obviously works as a web page (http://chrome.angrybirds.com/?version=hd), haven't tried it on either mobile or computer browsers though. Just wanted to point out that even high-profile games such as that are indeed becoming available as web pages.

On laptops and desktops, sure, where there's enough of a computational surplus that the overhead isn't that big a deal. I'm not aware of a web-delivered version of Angry Birds that can work well on phones, though.

Angry birds in the browser is 100x worse than on the iPad. It feels like a totally different game. For a game like that, web apps can't really compete with native apps right now.

#6Almost all of those negative points apply to the right column as well.

Should add a few, too, like "hope wireless connection works well or that developer properly prepared manifest," or "hope the developer didn't just assume 'web app' meant 'test in Safari Mobile only,'" etc.

the distinction should be made of mobile web apps vs web apps.. cause there are tons of flash games that outshine Angry Birds in many ways. Just pointing out for clarification.

Games have always been better native, but lets be honest besides game, probably 95% of apps really can be done as web pages.

#10Even this highly simplified view changes once you have the app installed. With a native app, you have an icon right there on the user's home screen. The web app would require more typing and clicking.
