features, such as the mobile phone camera,
geolocation, and the user’s address book.
• Native apps do not need to be connected to the
internet to be used.
• A native app is specific to the mobile handset it is
run on, since it uses the features of that specific
handset.
• Native apps can be distributed on the phone’s
marketplace (e.g. Apple Store for iPhone or Ovi
store for Nokia handsets or Android Market).
