  • SproutCore Another Nail in the iPhone Flash Web App Coffin?

    If the next great future of computing in the Cloud, as many pundits — not to mention Google — think, then the next great race is delivering that future via Rich Internet Applications. Right now, there are two major ways of doing this. The first involves using a proprietary, locked in technology (admittedly with increasing [...]

  • 1.5 billion mobile web browsers coming soon

    Mobile web browsers are about to get a whole lot better, according to analysts ABI Research, with open-Internet browsers (browsers which sport capabilities like AJAX and RSS) for mobiles growing from 76 million in 2007 to nearly 700 million browsers in 2013. “The move towards web-based applications means browser and web services engines will become increasingly important for mobile, whether these are in a commercial browser implementation or a customized widget. Ultimately, the long-term trend away from native applications to web-based applications means browser and web services engines will be increasingly important components in the mobile environment,” research director Michael Wolf said. It looks like despite all the hype and bluster the iPhone really might have kicked off a bit of a shake-up in the mobile world - the device has shown people what mobile web browsers should be like and reminded rival mobile manufacturers that its time to polish up those interfaces.

  • SERVICE: Google releases Picasa Web Albums for Windows Mobile

    Following Google's shiny AJAX-featured Picasa Web Albums for the Apple iPhone, Zak Cohen, Software Engineer at the Google mobile team, started thinking if they can make an AJAX interface work on new Windows Mobile devices too? After all, Internet Explorer Mobile supports many of the advanced browser features that were used to build the iPhone version. The team wanted to give it a try and started to work on a Windows Mobile compatible version which the Google Mobile team is pleased to launch today. So far available for Windows Mobile 6 Classic and Professional devices (touchscreen) only, you can now enjoy a much faster and slicker way of browsing Picasa Web Albums on your device: [ Permalink ] (c) 2008 by the::unwired - All Rights Reserved

  • Google Gears on Windows Mobile

    Another validation of the power, flexibility and ease of development on the Windows Mobile platform. Google just announced the availability of their offline AJAX technology called Google Gears on Windows Mobile 5 and 6 . What can Gears do? it provides an ability for AJAX applications to store data locally on the device. AJAX applications are inherently online-only thus requiring you to have a data connection. Gears allows you to host that data locally and then when the connection returns, operate online. Pretty nifty and creative solution. Obviously there are some limitations due to the lousy implementation of Pocket IE (that will change, we promise you) for now. here is the list of limitations to Google Gears : http://code.google.com/apis/gears/mobile.html#limits Funny how they chose Windows Mobile first over Symbian, iPhone or Android ;) but i'm sure in due time, all these other platforms will be supported. Goodness for all.

  • Apple working on offline storage for iPhone Safari browser-based applications?

    By now it’s an accepted fact that Apple is working to kill any and all native third-party application not sanctioned by Mr. Steve Jobs himself. However, that doesn’t mean that third-party applications aren’t in the cards for the iPhone. Apple’s made it clear that they want third-party iPhone application developers to concentrate on web-based applications - web-apps. Ars Technica has learned from insider sources that Apple is working on adding offline storage capabilities to the iPhone Safari browser. Similar to Google Gears’ ability to allow users to run web-based applications locally from the browser while offline, Apple’s offline storage solution could prove to be a boon for iPhone developers. Ars Technica’s source says this feature will be focused on the iPhone and that “the entire purpose of all this work is to make the iPhone ‘SDK’ (WebKit) more usable.” However, developers will be limited to applications that run on CSS, HTML, and AJAX - “limited” being the keyword here. With Apple aiming to release this iPhone SDK update sometime in January, we’re looking forward Macworld 2008 to hear more details. Hopefully, Stevie Jobs will see fit to at least open up some Javascript support and allow developers to make use of homescreen icons. We’ll just have to wait and see.

  • SoonR Talk workaround enables VoIP on your iPhone

    Filed under: Handsets , Messaging , Software , ATT , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , Misc , Apple , OS X For those only interested in fielding VoIP calls on an iPhone, we're pretty sure Cisco could hook you up , but if you've been wondering how to utilize Skype on your Apple iPhone, this here workaround spills the beans. Admittedly, this method is far from seamless, but by installing the famed SoonR Talk application on your home PC and logging into the AJAX-enabled SoonR website on your handset, a new way of calling instantly emerges. As with other handsets that support AJAX interfaces, you can reportedly view and call Skype buddies through your iPhone, but you should be aware that SkypeOut credits will be used due to the PSTN leg needed to dial your mobile. Inelegant as it may be, VoIP has now invaded the (non-Cisco) iPhone . Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
