Are they? That's a shame considering they were basically pitched by Apple originally, or so is my understanding, all the way back to Steve Jobs.

I assume them trying to kill them is more about total control of apps on their platform. I think its a huge mistake if they kill them off.

just basing my assumptions on:

i really hope they don't as it does provide an acceptable alternative to native apps. not everyone has a mobile team that can build native. imagine a small team just making a web app could now also provide a similar experience and value for mobile out of the box.
