One place I'll manage to point out soon, how server-side device recognition like DeviceMap is helpful will be an article about Automotive Embedded and Infotainment systems. HTML5 is seen as an important factor by many vendors and given the OS underneath such screens is often proprietary, not even as commonly known as let's say iOS, a cross-platform scripting like Cordova/Phonegap seems to have little chance in this area. Plus scripts for many of these areas are highly toxic and security concerns, given PhoneGap is even on Android sometimes considered malware by virus scanners[?]
Device capabilities and different makes and models in automotive just like other areas like smart home, smart TV, etc. will become more and more important. Not just "has audio", but e.g. "is audio mono, stereo, dolby surround, etc." seem relevant here. And most importantly in an end user device market where Millions or Billions of devices may use mobile web apps by either the vendor or service providers, mobile operators, etc. these will refrain from paying a Billion Dollar per year "data hostage" fee to the likes of ScientiaMobile and other crooks, even though these may hope that in their wettest dreams, but companies are usually not stupid, most of them even do their best or worst to avoid paying taxes[?] Werner On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 1:49 PM, Werner Keil <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > First of all contratulations Bertrand, LinkedIn mentioned you have a new > role at Adobe which sounds a little bit like what Chris A does at Twitter... > > I may have mentioned a proposal for JavaLand next March.
