Native Apps with integrations

As I understand it, Native apps are built exclusively via metadata configuration ... without the need for external services or infrastructure.  However isn't it true that there are some services/partners that are "whitelisted" in a way that you can still integrate to via API and be considered "Native".

 

Google Apps 

Amazon S3 & EC2

Facebook

 

Is this true?  Does anyone know if there are any others?

 

Thank you.

Yes, that's true. We use other Google Apps with our Native application. The key seems to be whether you write the 3rd party app or consume a public service. it is a grey area and the best advice is to discuss with your local Technical Evangelist if you have any questions about a particular service.
