Everyone wants this to be the reality, but right now it isn't. Thomas says "with almost complete desktop-like performance in most cases," but seems to say the exact opposite in the previous paragraph (let alone the rest of the article -- who needs drop shadows, right?). He's saying you have to hand code your app, because every framework runs poorly on the device. I'd like to know what, then, is meant by "most cases".
- jasongullickson 16y agoI didn't see anything to the tune of "every framework runs poorly", just that you don't need them since you're targeting a specific browser and much of the "help" you get from a framework is there to prevent cross-browser compatibility issues. It's easy when you work in something like jquery a lot (myself included) to overlook how in certain cases it's unnecessary, especially in the mobile space where most interesting platforms are running a browser based on webkit.
