How ? Apple in my opinion was the most influential actor regarding the development of mobile apps.The first HTML touch specific api came from apple... Apple defined what modern mobile apps means.
- untog 13y agoHe did say mobile web apps, not mobile apps. And given that almost all webapps run on JavaScript...
- camus2 13y ago>The first HTML touch api came from apple... I did imply mobile web apps and javascript is not a plateform,it's a language. What you imply is as stupid as implying "X who created Assembly helped pave the way for mobile web apps."...sure... So Eich paved the way for Photoshop or Fireworks because they both run javascript? yeah right.
- untog 13y agoApple defined those APIs because they were first, sure. But from that point on mobile apps have been defined in spite of Apple, dealing with the roadblocks they put up to push everyone into native.
