Only Web Apps In Mobile Safari Gain Performance Improvement With iOS 4.3
You might recall that when Apple first released the iPhone there was no app store and no way to install apps on the phone. The only way to add functionality to the phone was by running apps within the Mobile Safari browser, although iOS did, and still does, provide a way to add a bookmark to the home screen as an icon so that you could start the web app in the same way as all other apps.
While Apple later added support for native apps on the iPhone and iPod Touch, there are still many web apps available, and Apple includes a bookmark to a catalog of them in Mobile Safari.
