" summary

Company 20 reports 5 million unique users weekly and 2 million mobile‑only users and says 200,000 pay for telco features; the hybrid approach mixes native screens with webviews, lets apps pack local javascript for big speed wins, and uses PhoneGap 2.6 to access camera and call native routes. Problems are concrete: cookie renewal and background session refresh break, Android 2.3 needs heavy maintenance, offline data storage and appcache are inadequate, while iOS 7 and recent Android Chrome webviews work much better.
