Sergey Brin: Native Apps And Web Apps Will Converge Soon

I understand the Google's vision of OS-agnostic computer experience, but anyway, I fail to see how will Sergey solve the inherent problem that the native app programming will usually give the developer more possibilities. I still prefer the model like one being used by Evernote - the client is native, and only data is synced on the cloud.

I find using native apps with files in Dropbox works better for me (docs, Freemind mindmaps) than using web-based equivalents.

Of course, things like Google Docs win if you want to eventually share the document, but for personal stuff I'll be sticking to Dropbox.

Maybe thats why Google develops native client: http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/

Still looks pretty alpha.
