Html5: A Great Partner Of Mobile Applications With User (and Future) Friendly Features

There have been significant advancements in the cutting edge technology and as such mobile phones

, tablets and others are evolving to fit the needs of different users? But at the same time, internet is also changing at an unprecedented pace. This is evident from the fact that there have been quite a number of advancements in the way the web is presented. If we talk of mobile development, the recent announcements of Adobe Flash moving to HTML5, the question that pops up is will this platform revolutionize the mobile applications? Even the other tech mammoths including Apple, Microsoft and Google support HTML5 as the new standard.

This means that the major developers are shifting from the native apps to HTML5 (mobile app). The basic difference between a native app and a mobile app is that a native apps are specially designed for a particular mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet, etc. The particular app incorporates support for the device. They can be easily obtained from online marketplaces such as The App Store or Android Apps on Google Play. On the other hand, the mobile web apps are available in the particular device to perform a specific function and need not be downloaded or installed.

* HTML5 is a very cost-effective application as compared to other standards if you do not want to produce apps that require high level of complexity. In addition developing native apps is much more expensive as compared to the development in HTML5.

* HTML5 also gives a lot of ease as compared to the native apps and thus the process becomes smooth for the business and developers. However, the issues which are frequently encountered in JavaScript are expected to be solved in the near future.

* We are all aware that the native apps are preferred by most of the companies in terms of a rich customer experience. Google recently declared that HTML5 would be used in producing the native apps apart from the web apps too. This means this will pose a great opportuninty for the HTML5 developers. As for the users, they can expect a lot of feature of feature rich applications in the future by blurring the line between native apps and mobile apps.

* HTML5 also offers a similar kind of user interface, look and appeal when you compare it with the native apps. Hence the business and users would want to switch to something which involves lesser efforts and save costs.

* A major strength of using HTML5 is that you dont have to download or install the app or specially visit a store for the same. This becomes quite time consuming when we talk of the native apps. In addition, you do not have to update to another version every now and then if you are using mobile apps. All the users are on the same version and this makes things simpler.

* Some of the popular web applications which have switched to this technology pose great examples. The Financial Times Online and the Amazon Kindle are the best known and successful examples that run on HTML5. If you are using Netflix, then you must know that this application also allows users to visit the HTML5 website for browsing the movies that are available.

The only hurdle in the path of HTML5 is that it does not come with a strong support that enables the users to get a one technology solution. It still lacks the necessary tools to become a perfect solution for all the problems. However, with the support that this standard is getting from the major technology giants, it is obvious that it will emerge as a popular standard in the time to come. For instance, as we mentioned Adobe is encouraging the use of the app. In all, its going to be both easy and difficult for HTML5 to win the race but its strengths give it an edge. In the near future we expect that the HTML5 standard will incorporate more features which will make it a perfect choice. The debate is still on whether HTML5 manages to win the race?
