> For example, I work on an app which wouldn't be possible on the web 5-10 years ago
What is it? Because I highly doubt that statement. Ajax, DHTML, ActiveX, and Java Applets offered effectively the same solutions in the late 90s.

Doubt it as much as you want but we use several newer apis and phones wouldn't be powerful enough to run the damn thing 10 years ago since it's a web app.
I remember a little of the pre smartphone days. Basically no one installed any apps that didn't come with the phone. I tried to download some apps on some symbian device but experience was shitty as hell and many times they didn't even work for some unknown reason.
