Thanks for your response...Photoshop...I get that...but what I was looking for is the framework and the intricacies behind that makes it an insanely great app. For example, with PhoneGap and HTML5 there are something that can be done better and faster than to try the same with native iOS classes. Wanted to see if there are any place where these things are revealed or if there are any advice on these.

I'm not sure what you mean. PhoneGap and HTML5 are slow compared to either the mobile web, or a native app. The UIWebView that PhoneGap uses on iOS doesn't use JIT Javascript, so it's going to be slower than mobile web.

Either one of those isn't going to have the responsiveness of a native app.

Sure, I agree, PhoneGap could be not as blazing as the native core...I just mentioned that as an example. Do we have any websites where we can see the tech behind these great apps? I'm sure there are a few for web apps.
