"Here are some of the key findings: Web developers have four fundamental routes to the mobile market: direct to mobile browser, via a web wrapper (aka “the hybrid approach”), via a web-to-native converter, through a Native JavaScript API platform 61% of HTML mobile developers go direct to the mobile browser, 27% use a web wrapper like Phonegap, 7% use a native JavaScript API platform like Blackberry Webworks and just 5% use a Web-to-native converter like Appcelerator The four routes to market differ in terms of API depth: Among 30,339 Google Play (US) apps, 37% can be implemented using HTML5 via the Mobile browser, 49% via Phonegap, 63% via Appcelerator and 98% via Firefox OS The most important APIs currently missing from HTML5 are WiFi and Power Management. If implemented, they would result to a 20.83% rise in the number of Android apps that can be created with HTML5 JavaScript performance is mostly a matter of tools and the ability to measure and improve Browser politics play a key role to HTML5 development: Besides Opera, all major browser vendors are mobile OS vendors"
