There were a couple of additional resources at their web site, aside from the
library and demos, which were interesting. A chart from Gartner showed Android
market share grow from 1.6% in 2009 to 9.6% in 2010. During the same period,
Microsoft Mobile shrank from 10.2% to 6.8%. Symbian 44.3%, Reacher in Motion
19.4%, iPhone 15.4%.

Another interesting trend is that WebKit based browsers are being adopted by all
the big platforms, in newer releases. Interesting to see the competition
pulling away from Microsoft.

Quoting from an IBM press release this month:

"With the proliferation of these mobile devices, industry analysts are
predicting mobile applications sales will undergo massive growth over the next
three years, with estimates of mobile application revenues expanding from $6.2
billion this year to nearly $30 billion by 2013."


"According to the survey, more than half of all IT professionals â 55 percent --
expect mobile software application development for devices such as iPhone and
Android, and even tablet PCs like iPad and PlayBook, will surpass application
development on all other traditional computing platforms by 2015."

Those are pretty bold predictions. What do you think? Will development of
mobile apps surpass desktop apps?

Subject: [WEB400] jQuery for Mobile

Since there has been some discussion along these lines I am passing
along the availability of jQuery for Mobile found here
http://jquerymobile.com. Taking a look right now and hope to have a
prototype to play with this week.

Man, this is such a fun technology to play with!
