Isn't this (and many other similar points) just a generalisation of:

"Apple has spent time and effort making native apps work seamlessly, they haven't bothered for web apps"

This applies to missing APIs for photo upload, bugs or missing features in Webkit (even stuff that's there but not widely known), user "installation", even payment.

If that is the case then you can say "webapps are limited (currently (on the iPhone (compared with native Cocoa apps)))" but that's a completely different statement from "webapps suck".

What's odd is that Google isn't banging this drum hard for Android, but they are for ChromeOS.
