mobile image gallery / slider - web or standalone based?

[Matthias Rebbe]

Hi,

what would be the best way to create a mobile image gallery with slider effect.
I have to include an image gallery in an mobile app (ios and android).

Would it be better to realize that image gallery slider (swiping with the finger) as  web based
thing with jqtouch and use a native browser to integrate that in the mobile app?
Advantage would be the ease of adding/replacing images.
Disadvantage: The user does need an internet connection to see the images.

Or is it much better to include all 30 images within the app and create the image gallery/slider with livecode?
Advantage: Images are already on the device. No need to download them again and again.
Disadvantage: Adding/replacing images  means updating the app in the stores

I would prefer to create a web based image gallery and show that in a native browser control.

What do you think?

Regards,

Matthias
