Yeah I think so too but I don't think it really did. Native apps are almost always so much better. The biggest issue is discovery and installation of native applications that make the web more approachable.
I'd love to see some better development frameworks that let me use native UI components to build an application that can share business login across iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS X and even Linux. It's kind of a hard problem though.
Qt? It's your best shot for native win32/osx/*nix apps, and you can reuse lots of code for the android/ios versions (though you'll have to rewrite the views, of course).
Whoa, I've used Qt an very, very long time ago so I knew of its existence but I had no idea they had iOS and Android ports. I'm going to have to look into that. Thanks!
Yeah I expect re-writing of views. Honestly I think that's unavoidable and perfectly fine it would just be nice to keep the business logic everywhere I go.
