I think the main advantage of web programming over the native UI is that you can make one web app work for various (smart) phones versus a particular application for each different phone.
The disadvantage is that the browsers, like Safari, don't give any way to get some other information like location or acceleration. (The browsers aren't as responsive as native apps) One thing I've considered is making an iPhone app that immediately launches the website, but passing some extra parameters such as latitude and longitude. Does anyone know if this sort of thing has been approved before?
