Hi Jim --

I have read this morning a poll of mobile apps devs companies (http://slon.ru/appheroes/kakim-budet-rynok-prilozheniy-v-2013-godu-mnenie-razrabotchikov-858560.xhtml (in Russian)) - 66% vs. 33% suppose that native mobile apps will dominate over HTML5 within the next five years. (Yes, I realize that the mobile apps developers can be not the best polling source for "native mobile apps vs. HTM5 apps" question)...

Thank you.
