Despite the fact that users of Apple products actively download applications for their iPhones and tachey from the online store AppStore (at the moment it was purchased and downloaded more than 1.5 billion applications), Google vice president of engineering Vic Gundotra ON (Vic Gundotra) claims that the app stores like the AppStore soon become archaism. After all, the future of all devices - in-line applications.
This opinion was expressed on Gundotra Mobilebeat conference in San Francisco, and what writes Financial Times columnist Chris Natall (Chris Nutall). According to the Gundotra, Google Inc. does not even able to cover the entire range of devices. Too many different platforms, from Apple iPhone OS, BlackBerry continuing and ending MS Windows Mobile, Google Android, Symbian. So in the future we expect to have a unified and active use of web-based applications that operate in an environment of powerful browsers.
Gundotra was supported by other participants - Michael Abbott (Michael Abbott), Palm vice president of software and services, and Tero Oyanpera (Tero Ojanpera), Executive Vice President, Nokia Services.
Apple developed WebKit engine to display web pages on which browsers work for smartphones iPhone (Safari), Android and Palm, quite possibly, will be the first step towards the use of Web-based applications. In this cross-platform software development tool Qt, is now owned by Nokia, may well become the basis for creating online applications.
Referring to Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Gundotra says that Apple is still after the release of the first iPhone model called for developers to create Web applications. But at the moment this idea seemed too fantastic, and everything can now be completely different.
