While it's not directly in response to a post on this or the previous
thread, I thought I'd share this article as it seems quite relevant:
Mobile Web (and not Apps) are the Right Choice
http://www.mobileactive.org/mobile-web-not-apps
"This article provides an overview for anyone producing content about these
two options. We argue that most content producers should focus on the mobile
web, especially if they want to make their content more widely accessible.
Mobile apps may be appropriate if looking for new sources of revenue, or
deep user engagement, but many other factors make the mobile web the more
sensible platform for most content producers.
I'll provide a detailed comparison of both mobile web and apps for the
dissemination of content focusing on the following: making content
accessible, dealing with a multitude of devices and platforms, cost of
production, control over what content can be published, leveraging social
networks and search engines, features (such as ability to access users'
location), user engagement, and monetization."
cheers, Mia
