"Developing iPhone apps now means postponing a better and more capable web" (factoryjoe.com)

Games are still hard to do properly in the browser. Eventually, they might add OpenGL support to javascript, as well as full audio control. But I don't think that'll be happening for a while yet, so any app which does heavy 3D work or audio work will need to be native.


I don't see that happening any time soon. But whats true is that, not all games need to be 3D or fast paced to be fun. As a kid at heart still; I'm working on a few web based games with UI's for mobiles.


How about Google's recent O3D work? Not saying it's the be-all and end-all of browser 3D, but people are working on it.
