iPhone and the development of mobile applications
August 2nd, 2007
www.carsonified.com argues that with Apple’s iPhone the move from (Desktop) Web-applications to mobile devices is becoming much easier: the browser (Safari) will be the same/similar, the operating system (OS X) will be the same, etc.
Interesting point! The core argument against it will be that mobile applications are due to their nature of changing locations inherently more complex and difficult than desktop applications. Hence, it would rather be the other way round, i.e., mobile web-apps could be moved more easily to desktop web-apps …
P.S.: I read the reference to canonified in a footnote fo Web 2.0 by tom ALBY (Hanser Verlag)

There are lot of frameworks for Desktop Widgets, lot of interest has come in that area. I would presume the successful mobile applications tend to focus on one or two key functionalities rather than presenting a lot of options as embedded in a web page. Widgets are bringing a similar functionality on the Desktop.
Technology platform for web apps and mobile pass is lot different, so as of now in the near future things would remain the current way.
