Hello people, please what I'm about to ask might probably not be in line with this thread, but no other thread seems to be talking about using BB subscription on iPhone and stuff. Infact, most other threads dont mention iphones at all sad Please does anyone use this on iPhone? Or what plan is best to use with my iPhone? Thanks in anticipation guys. Great job!

megaplaza: “I think the biggest mistake we made as a
company is betting too much on HTML5 as
opposed to native,” he admitted,
acknowledging his company’s difficulties in
piecing together a coherent mobile strategy.

Thats Zuckerberg thought on HTML5 and Facebook had to change to native platform. for some applications believe me HTML5 wont even work. How do you program Near Field Communication app for android using HTML5, which HTML 5 cross-platform framework supports that? Use HTML5 if it's enough for you but dont come here and confuse people like HTML5 is the silver bullet for killing platform dependent mobile development vampire.

Eeer bro, I don't remember anyone saying HTML5 is an ultimate solution to the cross platform problem. Re-read my posts. I said its left to the developer to choose whichever platform would suit his need best under the shortest period of time. Several solid apps CAN be built with HTML5. Native is superior no doubt, but its only so in frameworks inaccessible by HTML5 for now. It's only a matter of time before HTML5 gets access level to frameworks that are beyond its reach now. Remember that HTML5 is not even fully fledged yet, and its already creating this much attention. Time brother, Time... wink

abbyode: Today's technologies focus more on functionality rather than the euphoria of successfully writing 10 pages of code which can now be achieved by a single click of a button. Why do you have to re-invent the wheels?
Come to think of it, you should have foreseen long before now that the idea of creating native apps is not sustainable. The reason is because you would have to write and rewrite same app a number of times just beacuse you want to port into iphone, blackberry, Android, Windows Phone etc. Do you know how many Mobile OS that wud still be invented soon? Meaning you would keep re-writing same app and learning new technologies every day so as to port your app. Come on, this is truly not sustainable. You should be able to build once, and run your application on any OS or device so far the device is internet enabled. This is the essence of html5 technologies.
People saw this coming and more reason why they came about PhoneGap.

However, the solution is pretty simple if and only if you must still publish into android, IOS, WIndows or BB market.
Just develop your app in html5 enabled development tools and create a small native app that wud only launch the link to your app. You would save yourself a lot of headaches by so doing.

Solid stuff bro. Well said. You have to be an entrepreneur alongside a developer. That's the way forward...

lordZOUGA:
okay, please, list popular html5 apps, not web apps but apps that run natively on a device.


Check out 'healthtap' . Also the BBC app for the last olympics was written with phonegap (HTML5, Javascript and CSS3). Brace yourself brother. HTML5 has come to say like I said. There is no need for debating though. The issue is, as a developer, you have to ask yourself what you want to do, and how best to go about it. If HTML5 will make your job easier and faster, why stress yourself? Just to prove that you are a top coder? No time boss!!

lordZOUGA: there is no comparison here, native apps will always trump HTML whatever. developers just wish.

I do not agree. Not especially with the advent of phonegap. Developing is not just for the fun of it, at least not to people who intend to become relevent in the world of apps and eventually in the tech world. I believe both will remain. And developers will choose whichever they deem perfect for whatever purpose they're interested in. HTML5 has obviously come to stay. The support for it has been like wildfire. Even Adobe had to buy phonegap because they saw something. We native language dudes tend to look down on peeps that code with html5 and the likes for mobiles. But frankly the world doesn't care. All the world wants is to open a great app on their device and use it. The language or style by which it was built is immaterial. wink
