News is a particularly good fit for a mobile browser. Structured text + images is actually much easier to render with HTML than with native APIs and the limited interactivity most of these apps require can be added easily enough with JS.

The whole HTML vs native thing is another one of those false dichotomies we waste so much time debating. They both have their place and neither of them are going anywhere.

HTML5 and all that can be used for games etc., but I think its real future is in stuff like mashups. We're basically creating the best open multimedia mashup platform, and it's insanely powerful.
