Sencha demonstrates HTML 5 can be faster than native iOS or Android apps (Facebook example)
You've heard that Facebook switched from HTML 5 to "native" apps on iOS and Android recently to "speed them up." That pissed off the developers from Sencha http://www.sencha.com/
So they built a Facebook app completely in HTML 5 that's even faster than the native Android and iOS apps that Facebook released last week.
Sencha builds HTML 5 programming tools and here we discuss the market for app developers and the choices they have to make. Later today I'll be at Facebook and will ask them more about why they can't match the speed Sencha displays here.
