7. An Expert to Advice You Which Technology Options to Choose?
You will need to understand which solution is good for your organization - native application
development or/and cross platform development.
Parameter Cross-Mobile Fully Native Comments
Platform
Cost of ► Cross-mobile platforms (e.g. PhoneGap) will reduce the
Development development costs, as the application can be built for
multiple platforms
► Cross-mobile platforms (e.g PhoneGap and RhoMobile)
Multi-Platform support multiple platforms
Compatibility
► Native provide best user experience. Mobile Apps
Usability developed using cross-mobile platforms may not give the
best experience on all phones, and may provide web-app
look and feel in some cases. Scrolling and touch response
are slower in apps built using cross-mobile platforms
Summary and Recommendation:
• If the requirement is to build predominantly for iPhone and Android, there may not be cost benefit using a cross
mobile-platform. If the requirement is to build for all platforms including BlackBerry and Windows Mobile, Cross-
platform development can provide cost benefits, albeit at the expense of usability.
• If the requirement is to build iPhone and Android apps providing best user experience, taking the native apps route will
be best for your organization.
