That's what I really want personally, the mobile web Steve Jobs envisioned. Glorious web apps without flash.

He pushed everything into apps though. Getting rid of flash was a big part of that because JavaScript wasn't capable of all of the same things at that time. The canvas wasn't fully supported yet. That meant games and anything with crazy animations needed to be an app.

Killing flash was one of the first steps to where we are now. It may not have been perfect but it did a lot for its time.
