It's very common for native applications to simply be wrappers for web applications, eg. stumbleupon, ebay, youtube applications for cellphones, etc. In fact, my university's app used to be a simple redirection to their mobile website and they managed to get it listed in the apple store. Many businesses refer to their mobile sites as web apps (or just apps) and design them to look like tablet applications, see
http://m.npr.org/ for an example. The distinction between a "native" and "web" app is becoming increasingly irrelevant.
You guys need to chill out.
