I was invited to speak at the ClickAsiaMasterClass today here in Singapore on the topic, “Mobile Web vs Native Apps”. There are qualified and obvious cases where native apps provide a means for a better product. Although, being an active lobbyist for open web standards, it comes easy for me to see when the open web trumps over proprietary platforms.

That being said, I am all game for the innovation that happens on new platforms. Don’t let standards stop you from innovating. Do keep in mind that you should be building for the user and not a platform.

It’s ironical, but easy to see that, the app wars are becoming the new browser wars.
