Mgwt and PhoneGap


Mobile apps have to die. Mobile web will win. 
. Just too many apps
. Keep searching on the mess
. Search engine solves the mess but mobile web needed

PhoneGap: 
. bring standard API across devices.
. Once mobile web will be there PhoneGap should disappear (transitive)
. Some mobile os vendors are integrating phonegap so that apps do not have to provide it
. Use w3c API wherever possible... They remove implementation once implementation are compatible

Mgwt: mobile widget
GWT phonegap: missing part to make GWT apps run on phonegap

Mgwt has different CSS for different platform
Care about performance: JavaScript cost less that rendering. You should really optimize rendering.

Don't use JavaScript for all device rotation and animation staff so that mobile devices will use native code:
. Betters performance 
. Don't drain battery

JavaScript device orientation event fired at the end of the rotation. You see is frameworks are handling device rotation in JavaScript or natively: if handed natively you see rendering while rotating the device.
