It's kind of interesting to see Android, Chrome, and FirefoxOS all rushing towards the same point, though from different directions.
Chrome is trying to "nativify" the browser, and making the browser a more seamless part of navigating Android[0].
With FirefoxOS, the webapp is already native, and the goal is to browserify the native OS (in other words, to make the operating system itself inside the browser).
[0] I say Android specifically because this integration already goes much deeper on Android than on iOS, simply because it can.
