IT companies working in mobile application development are always sandwiched between two thought and approaches. The companies’ worry that employees and customers accustomed to slick native apps will snub browser-based versions, but native development complicates cross-platform code reuse. Mean while many of the companies building native applications say they can’t get the functionality needed in a browser app, a legitimate concern until HTML5 matures.

According to a research published in Information Week:

• 71% of our survey respondents identify the Apple iPhone as the top target for both native and browser-optimized custom apps, compared with 64% for Android phones and just 22% for BlackBerry.
• 55% cite coding for differences in Internet Explorer, Safari, Android, Opera and Chrome as a top challenge when developing browser-based applications.
• 50% say cross-platform support is a critical feature in IDEs used for mobile apps.
• 20% of those with no plans to develop native custom or browser-based mobile applications cite security as a reason.
