Web 2.0 Expo NY 2010: John Gruber, "Apple and the Open Web" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qss5RnD7wK8This is an old presentation by Gruber (Daring Fireball) from 2010, but it is still excellent. And only 10 minutes long. He argues that iOS vs Web is a false dichotomy, in fact, the Web was from the start a big part of iOS. He then differentiates between "Web Apps vs Browser Apps". Your notion is, that a Web App is something which uses html. But he argues, and I think this rings true, that a Web App is something which uses http.
"How can you say that Twitter, even though it is a native iPhone App, isn't really a Web App?"
