Re: How can HTML5 compete with Native?

Hi Tobie,

Let's define WiFi and Power Management, in the context of our research.

WiFi means "Get a list of available WiFi connections. Setup a new
connection. Connect to specific WiFi network". Results show it's mostly
used to:

   1. view Wi-Fi connections
   2. connect and disconnect from WiFi
   3. change network connectivity

Power Management means "Prevent device from sleeping or screen from turning
off". It is mostly used to prevent device from sleeping while running an
app.

The way I interpret these findings is that HTML5 apps need to be able to
open a network connection at will (i.e. on launch). At the same time we
have to come up with some sane way (not by using hacks) to prevent the
screen from turning off while an app runs. Would you agree with this?

Is the facebook research you mentioned public? Could you send me a link?

Cheers,
