Why should we go web-based on mobile devices?

Target audience has a great variance of devices and this will not change
Reason 1

Vendor Images used without permission, but this slide is their fault

Native applications are very expensive
Reason 2

If you need to support for more than one device you need
One developer team for each (sub-) platform
Use different development frameworks
Implement different UI guidelines
Align to the deployment requirements of each platform

Reason 3
Most applications don’t really need system functions most of the time

Serious Smart Phones come with a HTML5 capable web-browser
Reason 4

Reason 5
Avoid the App-store Mania

How does HTML5 support the development ofmobile applications?

HTML5 helps to reduce costs1 application for several devices

HTML5 features for Mobiles
Fancier CSS styles and transitions
Web-apps can look as good as native apps
Consistent visual experience
Lightning fast
First point for improving web-application performance

HTML5 features for Mobiles
Offline Cache for static content
Users can be offline without loosing the application
Offline Storage for user data
No data-loss when returning back online
Geo-location API
Adapt the application to the users location
Multi-touch Event API
Use Fingers instead of Mice

A few examples

Social Networking

Widget-based
Personal Learning
Environments
Geo-location API

Knowledge Exchange
Multi-touch API

W-Augmented Reality
Geo-location API
Multi-touch API

And if we still need something specialwe can still go phonegaportitanium
Binding frameworks that expose native functions to javascript applications.
No loss of development time for re-implementing existing functions
