>>I see Kevin has brought up a valid point about overseas markets. In retrospect I should have just kept my mouth shut.
The overseas markets primarily are in South America. If that's your target, it matters. Otherwise it's Android and iPhone wherever you look. Don't apologize, what you said demonstrably is true.
FWIW, Priceline is offering 10% discounts to use its native apps for mobile devices even though you can browse to their site just as easily. Clearly Priceline perceives an advantage worth 10%. So those still advocating web systems already are behind the times IMHO, trying to sell the market a hammer because that's what they have. So IMHO you're correct there as well.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
