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.

marketplace (e.g. Apple Store for iPhone or Ovi
store for Nokia handsets or Android Market).
