During a Mobile Summit session Saturday on the future of mobile apps, Howard Hunt, vice president of new business at the Hyperfactory, suggested the mobile Web is poised to eclipse apps on handheld

browser-based Web. Does that mean a lot of annoying banner ads are going to start crowding mobile screens?
