Interesting and very detailed article on the challenges facing the mobile platforms both ito web apps, but also the overall infrastructure challenges for iOS, Android and others.

An important take away is why Android requires more RAM(memory) than iOS for equal performance; i.e. it's Android development language (JAVA), or more specific the Garbage Collection (GC) oriented languages that require more RAM to function. iOS needs less re is does not use GC.
