The document discusses development methods and platforms for mobile applications. It notes that Android and iOS together account for the majority of mobile device sales. Native apps are preferred for usability but web apps allow for easier cross-platform development. Hybrid apps combine web content with native wrappers. Going forward, there is interest in HTML5 for simple cross-platform apps and in development platforms that integrate apps across devices and operating systems from a single codebase.

25. Quiz #8: What does this product do? Supporting ARM architecture GUI based on Touch Online-store (like Apple Store, Android Market) for purchasing SW and distributionGeo-Location ServicesIs it a phone? Is it a Tablet?17

26. Its Windows 8!Supporting ARM architecture (for Tablets, Smartphones?!)New GUI based on Touch (!) and Silverlight technologyWindows Store (like Apple Store, Android Market) for purchasing SW and distributionGeo-Location ServicesBig looser is Intel!18

27. Its Windows 8!Should be on the market on 2H12 (a guess. I guess later) However, there are “some” issues left:Windows 8 compatibility on ARM (“Intel this spring pointed out that Windows applications running on x86 for PCs won't run on Windows 8 on ARM”)Windows 8 compatibility in general Will Windows 8 be “light” or “heavy” (several GUI interfaces, support for GPS, support for “lots of things”). Will it be light enough for phones? Tablets? (Users have other options - Apple, Android)Will we see Win8 versions for Tablets, Phones? Time to market?http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/13/arm_windows_8_compatibility/19

28. Microsoft Development TechnologyUntil now the “modern, vector-based, and hardware-accelerated” new UI technology (WPF, Silverlight) was not used in the Windows products (except of the Media Player). Now it can be used and will be part of Windows 8. Microsoft has lots of development \GUI technologies – WPF, Silverlight, Metro, DirectUI, XAML, Jupiter (with is essentially Silverlight). Some of them are used in XBOX and Microsoft mobile phones.Microsoft has come with reasonable good “story” of combining these technologies, however, developers might need to change their development concepts (hopefully not like COM to .NET style…) Based partly on : http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2011/06/windows-8-for-software-developers-the-longhorn-dream-reborn.ars/220

29. ARM processorsARM is a 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by ARM Holdings. The ARM architecture is the most widely used 32-bit ISA in terms of numbers produced.Originally conceived by Acorn Computers for use in its personal computers.Source: Wikipedia STKI modifications21
