Hi, Google announced yesterday a new beta feature in Chrome android: installability to homescreen [1]; it is similar to what has been possible in Safari iOS for a long while (e.g. fullscreen by default), but comes with a nice addition: Web-apps thus installed are integrated into the OS task-switcher. This matches one of my long wished-for integration point :) This was also brought up during our "closing the gap" discussion, as summarized in Scott Jenson's blog post: http://www.w3.org/QA/2013/08/enabling_new_types_of_web_user.html I've added [1] to our list of relevant articles (in the mobile browser section): http://www.w3.org/wiki/Mobile/articles In general, I and a few others have been added a number of useful references there, and I am planning on importing a lot of the references I had gathered during my "closing the gap" research, so stay tuned (you can subscribe to the page via RSS/Atom e.g. http://www.w3.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mobile/articles&feed=atom&action=history ) Dom 1. https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/installtohomescreen
