App vs. Widget, The mobile web taking over? (Wolfram Kriesing, uxebu)
Currently apps are hyped, HTML5 is picking up ... will it take over? Is the app store only a temporary thing? Most apps can be built using web technologies. More and more APIs are coming to the browser. Will a native app still be around in the future, do we need them or just the company that gets the 30% share off of every app? The presentation will show examples where web technologies can solve the problem where one might initially think a native application was necessary. Furthermore, an outlook to the future of mobile web applications will be given.
