NFC and HTML5 emerging as Winners on Mobile

Near Field Communication(NFC) ( for more details read my earlier blog http://khanderaotech.blogspot.com/2011/05/nfc-getting-momentum.html) is very useful in very short distance communication ideal for mobile devices. It has got another backer that is from RIM. RIM is bating high on NFC based Apps as its one of the main four focus area (according to its Dev relations VP Saunders).

This week there is another from Adobe. It seems that it is stopping further development on MObile Flash and bating on HTML5 which they should have done it long back after listening to Steve Jobs. Anyway, recently Adobe taking good steps. Adobe has recently acquired Phone Gap which is an opensource for developing HTML5 based hybrid apps of variety of mobile devices like iPhone and Android. We are using it at myBantu. In this case 90% code base is independent of the mobile device.

Is ChromeBook nothing but Larry's old idea of Network Internet Computer?

Google announced ChromeBooks at GoogleIO 2011 conference today with a great fan-far. Definitely it is an idea appropriate to current Web centric world. It seems to be giving right vibes. It's slick, fast to start, connected to web, secured, may be free from viruses, consumes low battery. It is consistent with today's cloud computing. In other word, it is perfect client device for a Cloud Computing world or new web. However, is it a real innovation? Larry had started Network computer concept and had launched a separate company for the same. May be it was ahead of time. Isn't ChromeBook recycled the same idea? Anyway, though it has an innovative subscription model for education and businesses, the cost is higher, 499 for wifi and 599 for wireless. Especially on the background of various efforts going on to introduce slick Netbook at $100. Moreover, at this price, the ChromeBook would get sandwiched between tablets and PCs.
