Unwired View: Samsung stakes it’s claim in mobile app gold rush by opening TouchWiz UI to developers

    The smartphone vendors should be accelerating support for HTML5, PhoneGap, BONDI, etc., so that developers can build web apps that run unmodified on all of the different mobile OSes.

    Yeah, well, they should. And they probably would do that for Webapps, if not
    the native apps, eventually.

    For now, until the standards are accepted and adopted, everyone is aiming to
    promote their own agenda and create a bigger closed ecosystem, which
    probably hurts the overall adoption of web apps.

    But that's a bane of every new emerging market so we'll just have to learn
    to live with it for now. And one can argue, and some do, that to early a
    standardization can stilffle innovation
