Sure. But if you're developing now you have to deal with what you've got - the Instagram founders did not say "we'll wait for this to become standardized".
- berkay 15y agoTrue, but Instagram founders also did not use a cross platform framework. They have developed for iPhone and only after almost 2 years they have developed an Android app, no?
- amirnathoo 15y agoInstagram did not and should not have used a cross-platform framework, we're agreed on that. Plenty of other people and companies should though. Fact remains that cross-platform is here to stay. HTML5 or iOS alone are not going to win the whole market.
- SigmundA 15y agoThe article however was on the future of mobile not the now of mobile. In the future you will not need a native app to capture images from the camera of a mobile device hence the premise is incorrect.
- amirnathoo 15y agoYes, and by that time capturing images will not be a differentiating feature for app developers, or novel for end-users. Some other feature will be, and it'll be native. I talked about this point in the article.
