Hi My company is working on a platform for mobile application development along the lines of PhoneGap and Rhosync. The idea is to have a web2py server running on the mobile device (Android, iPhone, etc.) locally, and have a browser component that is used for UI. The UI would be developed in HTML/CSS/javascript (the new jQuery mobile library looks like a good option to include)
We will release the framework open-source (to us the framework is just a means to an end) but would appreciate some help getting started. This could potentially be very good for web2py in return because cross- platform mobile app frameworks are a relatively new but huge market. Running the server on the device will allow several advantages, including: 1. Access to native device hardware (camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc.) 2. Access to the application even when disconnected 3. Speedy UI for the user Our first target platform is Windows Mobile 5. I have searched through the forums on here, and although it seems that web2py should work on there, nobody seems to have claimed success. The closest I found was this old thread: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/a85e511bc85baa31/34da24aedfcf2096?lnk=gst&q=windows+ce#34da24aedfcf2096 Has anyone here had success running web2py on Windows Mobile recently? If not, I will try to get something running early this week and post here with results/questions. Thanks
