@Edwin, ha ok, yes, for information centric apps Open Web should be the way to go.

I do not know much about games. My comment was focused on information centric applications.

@Edwin First, I would agree (and strongly hope) that the future of mobile Web Development is web/HTML5.

However, fortunately or unfortunately the mobile market has been reinvigorated (by Apple) with the “device applications” concept, and this trend is probably here to stay for a long time.

It is one thing to use HTML/HTML5 to do rich web application, but when doing games and other entertainment applications, the Web (without flash) falls a little short. Trying to build a tap-tap-revenge in HTML5 would be challenging to say the least.

Consequently, Google has to fight on all fronts. Continue to build up Open Web and, at the same time, embrace all popular application development model and distribution.

Google already successfully did that with Android (great eclipse/SDK tools, and advance web-kit browser support), and my suggestion here is for them to extends their eclipse/SDK tools a step further.

Nevertheless, I agree that this strategy should not temper Google of continuing push Open Web/HTML5 to be the future of application development for devices of all shapes.

On Silverlight, different problem, but 100% agree that this is and will be a failure: http://www.bitsandbuzz.com/article/silverlight-good-for-adobe-bad-for-microsoft/

I am not sure I agree: the future of mobile development (ipad included) is the web/HTML5. What you call the “lowest common denominator” will very soon be good enough to compete with what most native applications need. Apple more than anyone else knows that and is continuously pushing the limits (continuous improvement of Javascript performance, hardware acceleration of CSS transitions and animations, etc.). Investing in a competitive application model would be a great waste of time and energy. Microsoft has already proven that with Silverlight.

Google are doing very well with Android.

Despite that no single phone will ever come close to iPhone… when combined… all the Android phone products are beginning to add up. It’s a tide building out there, and Google with its free open OS are going to gain momentum. you can almost see it happening.

Yes open it up to single environment. Apple are vulnerable in open markets. very.

judging from the feedback I’ve seen around the web.. the iPad isn’t going to be a big seller. Most say they are waiting for a Google Tablet. That is where Google can pwn Apple if they hurry the F up!

Good article. =)

I see Google making an impressive attempt at a broad communications / information take over. I can imagine Google’s own ISP, mobile phone carrier, television and more.

They were smart about positioning the backend services and products to support such integration before making any particularly telling moves. Although, if I’ve seen this coming for a year or more now, I’m certain than many have. Yourself included.

Interesting post, makes sense. Apple is in the cat birds seat right now and depending on the success of the iPad they could become an even bigger Gorilla. If Apple can release a kick ass social networking model, ouch says Google.

Google is at risk of becoming a subservient service under the Apple or Facebook platforms, Wave and Buzz are their best defense right now. As social networking continues to evolve more and more, internet search will be derived from that data as much or more than indexing websites, Google doesn’t have it.

It is an interesting race to see who can become the primary portal.
