  3. 1st Gen Mobile Web WAP HDML Flash Lite WML TTML Mobile Profiles .mobi XHTML/Mobile • Terrible user experience • Dumbeddown, constrained content • Non-standard, completely fragmented • No security model, not-sticky, sandboxed • Browser chrome (yuck) • No local content & storage

  4. 2nd Gen Mobile Web • Full Desktop web content on Mobile • Web Standards driven (HTML CSS, JavaScript) Mobile Optimized • The rise of HTML5 and CSS3 • Store large data using HTML5 storage and stop sending fat cookies over-the-air • Use webWorkers to move heavy processing and blocking communications off the main thread • Take advantage of HTML5 app cache so your application will work out of coverage • Use HTML5 form controls, they do good things on mobile

  5. Browser Limitations • HTML5 address key native integration constraints by providing offline storage, proper threading, content cache and data access (geolocation) • But … native integration is sandboxed and not-extensible • Without a security model sensitive user data remains out of reach • There is no way to escape the browser chrome to support alternate entry points and navigation modes • The full Native application experience remains out of reach

  6. Next Gen Mobile Web • User interface entirely authored in HTML/CSS • Application logic written in JavaScript with full support for standard frameworks • Full support for HTML5 APIs for threading, local storage,Geolocation • Complete security model allowing full access outside the browser to file system, user data and applications • Deeply integrated native application experience without the browser chrome • Push enabled to allow content providers to target their audience whenever they want wherever they are • Benefits of both native and browser discovery and distribution BlackBerry WebWorks

  11. Alice: Micro-library of visual effects • HW acceleration with CSS3 in mobile Web browsers is underutilized • Nothing much has changed in the past 4 years since slide/fade/zoom/flip. • Flash in comparison for instance has many libraries of very cool effects • Smartphones and tablets have the horse power to do better • Some samples out there, but results in lots of CSS and JS to setup, requiring lots of skills • Alice (ALightweight Independent CSS Engine) is a micro-library focused on packaging advanced hardware accelerated visual effects for Web apps • Framework and application independent (can be plugged into Dojo, jQuery, Sencha Touch or other libraries) • Single-line-of-code setup • Physics and Organics • Rich visual effects like bounce, toss, flip, fold
