A native application written in object C language which can only be downloaded from Apple store. The other is called web appliation based upon javascript and html.

The terminology itself is from The Ladders via a promotional e-mail to their users specifically saying,"From the great minds at TheLadders.com Labs, we’re pleased to bring you our new web application for the iPhone!" This is indeed, however, an iPhone-friendly Web site and NOT an application. Eric is correct.

An "app", at least in iPhone world, means an application that's downloaded from the Apple Store, which involves a lot more time and effort - plus a "go ahead" from Apple - than what TheLadders has launched. TheLadders has really just started singing about them having a site which is now iPhone-optimized. Kudos to their marketing for phrasing it this way, but this really isn't news-worth because most industry-leading websites already do this. And this isn't even anywhere near being comparable to the CareerBuilder app, which is still the only "iPhone app" that's out there.
