Covered in this panel:
1. How radically is user behavior on mobile devices expected to change over the next few years, and how can app developers get ahead of the trends? *stats below*

2. What are the challenges and opportunities of developing both Web and native apps, and what can we expect will change over the next year?

3. What are the benefits of tailoring a mobile app to a specific operating system, both for developers and end-users?

4. What about the "hybrid" approach of creating an HTML5 Web app and then wrapping it for different native environments? Is it beneficial for developers to move toward this middle ground, or focus on one end of the spectrum?
