these platforms?

7. The Web Is An Option
• And a darn good one...
• But as fast as mobile web
browsers are progressing,
there are still limitations
• Native apps are inherently
more capable and leverage
platform features
• Performance is especially
critical on resource-
constrained devices

8. Okay, so we build native!
But that has issues, too...

9. Even if you’re a guru...
No matter how awesome
your Objective-C or Java
skills are, you’re still looking
at maintaining N codebases
for N platforms.
This costs lots of time.
Time === $$$

10. And if you aren’t a guru...
