The Future of MobileWeb-design May 2011 Orun Kabir

Before the iPhone,mobile devicesweren’t verysophisticated andcouldn’t surf the webin a user friendlyfashion.

Then came the iPhone(and it’s app-centric model) This meant more usability, better web- browsing and feature rich functionality with apps

Blackberry and Andriod soonfollowed and created their ownsoftware development kits toencourage the creation of numerousapps.

With proprietary app developmentsystems like these dominating the market,how are smaller mobile competitors tothrive? =

HTML 5 means:• A more robust & semantic web browsing experience.• Videos and animations don’t need to rely on Flash.• Less apps and more versatile web pages

<webkit>• iPhones, Android phones and now Blackberries run WebKit to browse the web• Most other smaller phone manufacturers do to• Newer versions of Webkit support HTML5• This means HTML5 is a serious threat to the app centric model.• Smaller phone manufacturers and new entrants encourage HTML5 development wherever possible

It looks likemay win back the mobile environment!
