Native Mobile Apps Vs Web Based Apps

 Apple's refusal to allow Adobe Flash on its mobile devices, namely the iPad and iPhone, has seen the company come under a lot of fire since the first iPhone was released in 2007. While Apple insists that Flash is a dying format, many in the industry think it poses a threat to the dominance of Apple's iTunes store, and would allow anyone to make applications for the phone without Apple's approval. Apple already provides support to HTML5 in its web browser, and this new programming language opens up a whole new realm of web-based applications for mobile Internet devices. Let's take Google's web-based email, Gmail, as an example. For owners of an iPhone, Gmail was accessed through a Gmail application downloaded from the iTunes store. That application was designed, and then Apple had to approve it before it could be distributed to customers. Further, to use the application, users had to go through an extended process in registering for iTunes, logging in, downloading t...

Top Web Apps - Why You Need Them - Internet Marketing Guru

 What are Web apps? An "app" (which is shorthand for "application") is a piece of software that may be found on your computer, mobile phone, or across the Web. Originally, all software programs have been called "apps" (Tim Sanders actually wrote a book entitled, Love is the Killer App). But recently apps have come to be used specifically to refer to the small programs to be found on iPhones and now other smartphones, Facebook, and Google. They are relatively small, but they typically help you do something and make your life a little easier in a big way. For example: The iPhone has an application was allows you put your phone up to the radio (or any type of speakers) and it will search and find the name and musician for the song! Over the past two years, the development of different apps has been growing at an extraordinary rate.

5 Main Differences Between Web Apps and Native Apps

 When considering development of a mobile app, one thing you must decide is whether the app will be web based or native. In this article, I'll explain the differences between these two options. A web app is an application or program that you access through the browser on your phone or tablet. It is different from a native app in that you don't need to download anything to your phone in order to use it. You simply access or connect to the web app, purchase if required, and away you go. Think of it as going to a web site to play a game or watch a video; you don't actually download and install the game or video onto your computer, but instead play the game or view the video online. A native app is an application or program that runs on the device itself. An example of this would be camera apps, GPS apps or games. Native apps are downloaded and installed on the device and accessed by tapping the app icon. Interestingly enough, when the iPhone was created, the intent was for dev...
