Over the last ten chapters, we have learned a lot
about developing for the mobile web. We learned about XHTML, WCSS, Adaptation,
Best Practices, Messaging, Mobile Payment, and Mobile AJAX. This was our take to
peek at what lies ahead in the mobile web. We specifically looked at:
Mobile web applications are growing: every successful web application is
being ported to mobile.
Mobile widgets are the next big thing.
Mobile browsers are evolving rapidly and will make it easier to develop
mobile web applications.
Mobile networks are complex! And can drop anytime.
We can implement Occasionally Connected Computing architecture using
Google Gears and Dojo Offline.
Google and Open Handset Alliance are pushing Android.
SMS and entertainment will continue to dominate.
For many, mobile devices will be their only computing platform.
There is a big scope for developing innovative mobile web applications. Applications
that integrate messaging, voice, payment, and OCC with the Mobile Web have an
even greater chance of making it big. The mobile usage will continue to grow for the
next few years. Simple ideas that effectively solve a specific problem of mobile users
will be very successful??”worldwide!
We have submitted our findings to Luigi.
