Mobile apps and the approaching zombie apocalypse
Pages 5 - 6
Abstract
The mobile handset (and now tablet) market is coming a tangled mess, with strong advocates for device specific applications on the one hand and strong web standards within the browser on the other. This talk will reflect a bit on the history of mobile applications, focusing on the user issues involved in this debate. This is critical as too often the debate focuses on the business needs of application development.
The mobile space has gone through, and will continue to go through profound shifts in technology and user capabilities. This talk will focus on the heterogeneous set of devices that will descend upon us all, a 'zombie apocalypse' of devices that will swarm upon us and upset the simple 'one app, one device' model that we still so quaintly adhere to today.
