Web developers have been "wringing their hands" for the last 5 years swearing blind that any day now everyone's going to give up on smart phone native app development and go html5.
All the web has managed to prove is how badly MS cocked up app deployment on windows, nothing more. The web 'won' against one platform, windows deployment, MSIs and the rubbish they've been putting out with WPF, "one click" deployment. Smart phones have shown us how the web actually doesn't compete very well against native once a decent deployment solution is in place.
