NATIVE OR HTML5? www.topgametechnology.com

build mobile apps in Native code

build a mobile website with cross

HTML5 ?

Unfortunately the answer to

the question is not clear cut.

increase the file size, and thus may

use more computer memory on the

device.

the level of engagement and

usage, and therefore must be

different for different devices.
