Abstract

HTML5 is capable of producing media-rich and interactive webpages that function more like desktop applications than webpages. Increasing mobile browser support for the standard has enabled the development of mobile web applications as an alternative to native applications. This paper presents a project, which recreated a cross-compiled native application in HTML5. The experience provides an insight into developing mobile web applications and identifies some of the limitations associated with using HTML5 on mobile devices.

Keywords: HTML5 mobile applications cross-platform
