Kindle Cloud Reader Takes Web Apps to New Heights

[TechNews]

 It's been a really long time since I've used a Web app on iOS. Before the App Store was launched, that used to be the only way to use anything resembling third-party software on an iPhone. In Year 1, nobody but Apple could develop directly for iOS, so the best anyone could do was build a site that fit nicely on a 3.5-inch screen. Naturally, most of the results were kind of lame, at least when compared to the software app makers can write when they're building native applications. Web apps couldn't use many of the phone's hardware resources or sensors.
