Well it's not too long ago when everybody with an interest in the
iPhone was complaining about Apple's position that devs shall rely on
web apps for the development of iPhone apps. Over there, I don't get
the impression that mobile web apps are considered The Answer.
I suppose I'll experiment with HTML 5, Gears and the other tools that
are brought to battle. I really like GWT and agree with all the good
things that are said about it, but I tend to believe that in a mobile
environment, methods like code splitting are not powerful enough to
provide answers to meet user expectations for fluid app flow. In
particular as these expectations are driven by nicely animated games
and inclusion of app behaviors. As an example, I make extensive use of
MapController to animate to map locations, and the maps API 3 seems
nowhere near that level of support. Having developed with GWT, and
listening to the experience that the Lombardi guys have had (and they
didn't even have a mobile angle), mobile web app development remains a
scary proposition.
