Mobile Web Apps Will Dominate 2010

I just wanted to put in writing that I think mobile web applications are going to dominate 2010.

There is a problem with developing for mobile phones, there is no standard platform to reach the masses. Smart Phones sales are growing at an astonishing 50% on a year-to-year basis, but the market is still heavily fragmented across different operating systems.

One system that is being embraced by some of the larger operating systems is to allow web applications to take the same position as native applications. The Palm Pre has the Web OS which is based completely off of common HTML standards, the Blackberry lets developers wrap Java around web pages so that they can be sold like normal applications, Nokia has announced an app store based on HTML standards, and even on the iPhone, developers can build a simple wrapper for their web pages and hawk them like regular applications.

The implications are huge.

If you want to tracend mobile boundries, start building mobile web applications.
