There are some interesting trends.  Sprint Titan's effor to stem back iPhone and Android with mobile RIAs base don J2me CDC and OSGi and eRCP is almost a year old.  It seems to be somewhat a failure and probably because of the lack of understanding of what standards mobile users were demanding as the Sprint Lead on that was claiming that Android and iPhone have no standards.

Here is that standard.  The dissruptive trend is that there are more web coders than mobile coders and they know web standards.  Mobile  webkit, S60 Webkit, Mozilla Mobiel Browser, and etc all suppport the new web standards as opposed to MS's Mobile browser. But remmeber the mobile user does not care about native code.

The mobile user cares about the social apps that run the mobile browser in the device. But those apps are not integrated with mobile features such as GPS and etc however the mobile user has broad exerince with the web UI. Than on top of it web coders do not want to learn  mobile native code languages and we have 3/4ths of 4 billion mobile users making the transition to the new always-on-web with real mobile web standards and you see a move towards Android and iPhone like platforms and a move away from native code.
