It's also fair to ask if websites will kill apps. Widespread mobile data access and HTML5/CSS3 are beginning to let developers duplicate the advantages of apps and keep the advantages of web. The winner will be determined by cashflow - apps are often purchased; many sites still rely on ads. Which model is more profitable?

Maybe it's not app vs web. It makes more sense to look at it as app experience vs traditional website experience.
