Thinking Outside The Browser Box: Why Should Apple Play By Current Internet Rules?
Earlier today, I was reading Joshua Topolsky's editorial on This is my next about Apple's "mistake" in turning their back on the Web and I kept stopping. I disagreed with basically everything.First of all, his entire argument is based on what I believe to be a fallacy: that Apple is going to completely turn their back on Web support for iCloud. I have reasons to believe this is not the case, as I stated last week, and reiterated today. Others have since chimed in with similar notionsand a bit of evidence to the contrary. While Apple may not have anything to say about web support for iCloud apps right now, let's revisit the situation in a few months.Beyond that, there is no denying that with iCloud, Apple is placing a very strong emphasis on native applications versus Web-based applications. You could argue this has been the case since the initial release of the App Store in 2008 (remember in 2007 when developers were told to make Web apps for the iPhone?). But I absolutely agree that the message seems more clear than ever: native is the way forward.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/x9_IXLI7QVA/
