But enter the Smartphone Era stage-left, and you've got a problem - those solutions are not available on iPhones, iPads, etc.
This has led to a lot of buzz around HTML5-based development for mobile apps (PhoneGap, for example is a popular platform for building applications with HTML5). Often these platforms do not support native UI components, but people seem to care less about standard UI nowadays; authoring UI with HTML5 gives people more freedom on look and feel. Traditionally javascript is very restricted for security reason (no local file/socket access etc), but the restriction can be lifted via browser extension.
