Rick, I previously read your article and it aptly describes the pain we're feeling. Apple intentionally handicaps the iOS browser (and any other browser that runs on iOS) to force developers to create native apps. Why? Because giving html5 web apps anything more than basic capabilities breaks down the pay-wall garden that is the app store. Apple is giving a big middle finger to html5 app developers, meanwhile the mindless apple-herd keeps buying these damn devices. We've been painted into a corner and are now working on a native app to overcome the html5 limitations that Apple has intentionally and artificially created. Apple, Steve Jobs, and Tim Cook are, needless to say, not on my Christmas card list.
