A nitpick on the title, cuz it annoys me. Why would anyone say "You'll never believe X"? The X in question (95% HTML) is actually not that unusual to begin with.
But even if X is mind-blowing, the fact is that the article was written to show readers this mind-blowing fact. And after reading said article, should I still be in the "never believe" camp, making it an unconvincing article? Or should I now believe it, thereby invalidating the premise that X is something "I'll never believe"?
Argh, sensationalism is very annoying. As a web dev who's used PhoneGap, and I'm glad to see it's becoming an accepted approach to mobile apps... But PhoneGap has been around for years.
Regarding responsive design: the best mobile apps/sites will have a specially crafted mobile design, but responsive design is a good solution if you lack the resources/need for a great mobile app.

I know. Exaggeration sells. But still.
