For both the addon and the b2gdroid build we want to give access to the legacy apps behing the web experience.

We do have access to both gaia and android apps through navigator.mozApps so we could list them somewhere. There might be a bit of work to make sure we transition nicely in and out of a legacy app.

Currently when using #44 the tab hides the URL bar, that may/may not be intentional however this seems the sort of behaviour desired here. Clicking Camera for example would swap out the iframe and replace it with the app or something?

Well the "native" app will always launch with the system transition on top of hope. We don't have a way to host an android app inside our tab management. So we'll need to design around that. We can probably do something better for b2g though.
