37. Phonegap
Embed webview in a vanilla native app and use its
bindings
Didn't support BB then, supports BB now
Notifications not really Androidish – but we wrote
one, easy.
Android Menu not available
Overall not bad
38.
39. Dojox.mobile
Familiar but Nascent
Not enough native looking controls
Chat View - We couldn't pin it to the bottom
Fuckin webview for mobile is different
Some jazz about viewports and calculating heights
All jarry!
Scrolling not native like
Not BB friendly
45. Sencha Touch
Nice native looking
Not BB friendly, couldn't give a starving rats ass!
Scrolls beautifully – until you give it some data
Very Extensible but not easy to modify
Java influenced – hierarchy taller than Everest
Some ugly-ass shit – Android password field
Extra textbox!
DOM is slow
Tried flyweight for Roster – did not fly!
Better than dojox.mobile
51. Titanium Mobile
Its Javascript but no webview – yay?!
Bad experience with Chat.pw for Desktop
Different API for iOS and Android
Poor fucking code
BOSH library needs DOM – webview back!
Native controls – good!!
Code doesn't work
Dev environment sucks!
Build scripts suck!!
Android menu – no not really
Thought we might fix Titanium – died a little
No one gives a fuck about BB
