Most people would agree that the Apple App store has the coolest and most useful apps in the market. However, the Global Intelligence Alliance (GIA) predicts that the next-generation web applications will eventually be more popular and overtake single-platform native applications that can be downloaded from:
- App Store by Apple
- App World by Research in Motion
- Ovi Store by Nokia
- Android Market by Google
See List of 10 different types of iPhone Apps
The main reasons why consumers and businesses would prefer web apps over native apps are:
- Richer user experience such as global positioning services, cameras, address books
- Access popular content on any platform such as laptops, smart phones and tablets
- Greater distribution control; no need to seek third party approval
- Cost advantages of providing one interface accessible on multiple platforms
- Ability to engage and track subscribers more effectively
The main advantage for selecting a native app is the ability to build a superior user interface.
