>> They take the same amount of time to load. They seem to have exactly the same UI. It's just wasting my local storage no?

That cuts in both directions: why would you rely on a permanently connected browser app unless you have to? It fails when connection drops for whatever reason- maybe because too many people are flooding a finite 4G bandwidth with flabby browser apps ;-) or watching an exciting Lady Gaga costume slip on Youtube. And you can't use it on a commuter flight (unlike a native caching version). And so it goes on. Seems to me that things that made sense and almost came true when the UI was all but controlled by MS, cannot be applied uncritically to Mobile which is the future of IT. IMHO Lianja is just the first of a series of a new generation of "write once, deploy anywhere" opportunities that are far better than excuses to use over-complicated self-indulgent languages which is how some of this comes across.
