This morning I watched this discussion of the future of mobile apps with Chris Messian and Ryan Carson. They’ve both done their research on the subject, but as you can tell no one really knows where it’s all going to end up.

“Chris Messina on the topic of the future of mobile web development. We cover interesting issues like mobile web widgets, W3C standards, Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP), BONDI and PhoneGap.”

I agree with Chris that mobile browsers are going to get more powerful, and we hope we’ll get all the device level features we want from JS down the road. In the meantime PhoneGap will can play that role. Eventually we hope PhoneGap won’t have to exist at least in a compiled sense and just and standard API which may eventually become obsolete. Ah wouldn’t it be nice…

We’re really hoping something like BONDI, or BONDI itself, is the way to go. We’re just not sure if we can be the first ones to adopt it. Is anyone else implementing this?
