At least this is what John Herlihy of Google Europe  says . See an interesting article on a platform shift to Mobiles by former startup evangelist at Microsoft and now Google's Developer Advocate Don Dodge. Things are heating up in Mobile space. Google recently announced the change in strategy called Mobile first . Google will now release new products first for the smartphones and only later for desktops.



The upcoming Lablz 4.0 targets Mobiles head on. Lablz has built mobile solutions since 2005, but 4.0 release marks a shift to Touch UI and making most App functionality available equally on Mobiles and Desktops. It seems it will be one of the last Lablz releases when Mobile is playing catch up with the desktop. As number smartphones with real Web browser outpaces number of PCs and with Web Apps gaining access to device capabilities such as GPS, Camera, Sensors, etc. Mobile Web will become more powerful and a lot more attractive to Web developers than the Web viewed from the Desktop browser. Until now only native Apps had access to the device. We tried to remedy this with Bhoost , and others, like PhoneGap, Big5 tried to give Web Apps native reach, but this effort although open sourced was fragmented as it lacked standardization and reach.



Finally standards are catching up. W3C is readying its Device APIs spec, while BONDI publishes its Device JavaScript API 1.1 . And looks like the whole Mobile industry is consolidating around WAM - a joint venture of 24 mobile operators. WAM pledges to work with W3C and plans to deploy Web widgets on 3 billion devices through a joint Widget Store. WAM is a result of a merge of two leading Mobile Widget standardization groups JIL and BONDI . This means Nokia WRT Widgets , Opera Widgets , Blackberry JIL Widgets , Verizon JIL Widgets , HTC/Huawei/Lenovo JIL Widgets, LG/SAMSUMG JIL Widgets , will have one spec and even one Widget runtime certification mechanism. Looks like Palm's WebOS popularized the idea of Widgets as Native Apps and this approach will be entering the mainstream in the next 2-3 years, pending major consolidation as there are clearly too many widget engines . Widgets are attempting to achieve what Java ME was trying to do for a decade - create a universal global deployment platform for mobiles.



 Apple with Mobile Safari on iPhone opened the Web for small screen underpowered devices. For 3 years WebKit was the only game in town for Mobiles. Now Firefox on Nokia 900 , screaming fast new Opera 10.5 and once the only real Ajax browser for Mobiles Access's Netfront coming back from the dead - the competition for Mobile Web browser (which may be now marketed as a Widget engine) is beginning to heat up. With the W3C providing Web Device API, Widgets 1.0 for packaging, HTML5 for elevating Web Apps to Native Apps and the WAM's industry support - the road is paved to Web Apps to begin their march on Mobiles. And this is great news for Lablz developers - their unwavering belief that Web Apps will win against Native and Flash-based apps for Mobiles and Desktop is set to begin paying off.
