Question

Could somebody list some things that you can do using native iPhone/iPad development but you can’t using HTML5? I want to understand for what kind of apps is HTML5 usefull. I like it because it is an open technology which you can reuse to target other mobiles like android. I remember Steve Jobs said HTML5 is the future but I want to understand hat are it’s limitations

Answer 1

The main difference I guess is that with an HTML5 app you don’t have access to the native APIs and access to onboard devices (like the accelerometer, camera, etc.).

If you use something like Phonegap though you can have the best of both worlds.
