18. By 2013 mobile devices will
overtake PCs as the preferred way
of accessing the Internet.

20. There are 2 options to deliver
applications:
Native apps or Web apps
That looks like what we have on PCs.
Right?
21. Mobile platforms
Developer skills
Time to market
Performance
Market approval
Perception
Cost
Risk
Installation and update
Porting to new platforms
Integration with device

What qualifies Exadel?
29. Developer Skills: Web
HTML, JavaScript, CSS
Well known technology stack
Web developers are more likely to
pick up mobile Web development
then specific native platform
45. Integration with device services:
Native
Integration with device services:
Contacts
Calendar
Other applications
Integration with device hardware:
Camera
GPS
Accelerometer
Take advantage of platform's API
46. Integration with phone services:
Web
Very limited, if any.
Location-based services is available
from browser API
49. Connecting to Enterprise: Native
Existing infrastructure is reused
Might need service layer to
communicate between client
(mobile) and server
HTTP, REST, SOAP
Framework like Flamingo
55. Some other things to
consider
Does everything need a native app?
Probably not.
“App overload”
Do you want users to download an app
for anything they do on mobile
devices?
56. Flick photo by Arts Comments: http://www.flickr.com/photos/artcomments/382732967/
History repeats itself?
57. Go native if:
Games
Access to device
features
High performance
Off-line
Specialized apps
with rich graphics
Targeting just
one platform
For everything else, go
with Web; and if
supporting multiple
platforms is important
