Mozilla’s Open Web Apps

q The basic set of concepts required to enable Open Web Applications are:§ Application manifests, which describes the location, requirements, and

capabilities of an application.§ An application repository, which holds the manifests for all of the user's

installed applications.§ A method to install an application into a user's repository, which can be

used by stores and directories or by an application developer (for self-published applications).

§ A application dashboard, which is a user interface through which to manage, browse, and launch installed applications.

§ An optional network interaction to allow applications to confirm the user's ownership of a paid registration (i.e. from an application store).

Google’s Installable Web Apps

q the experience of using a web app is still poor compared to that of using a desktop app.

q Problem: Web apps are special to users, but not to browsers§ bookmarks for web apps look the same as bookmarks for other web pages.§ security defaults that make sense for normal web pages are often a bad match for

web apps.

q Solution: Installable web apps§ installing a web app is like creating a super-bookmark to it.

Conclusions

q The App Store As A Digital BMq New-generation web applications to challenge native app

dominance in mobile service distribution§ User interface and hardware capabilities dominate demand for native interface§ Distribution control and cost advantages are key drivers behind web app

development

q But, the experience of using a web app is still poor compared to that of using a desktop app. § User requires better user experience in mobile environment § Web should learn from the strong points of Native App

q Web could be the final winner of the Mobile App Race ?§ Mobile Browser is just one of Native App. § We need new type of web application in mobile
