This is great… But how does this affect things?

Ñ  Customers are confused what platform to build for

Ñ  Fast-rate of change scares many customers Ñ  Customers try to hedge bets with HTML5

apps

Market fragmentation is bad

Ñ  Not cross-platform Ñ  Benefits in flexibility Ñ  HTML5 app performance not on par with native Ñ  Hybrid HTML5 – Native apps viable choice for

many customers Ñ  XtremeLabs customer recommendation (for

cost conscious customers) Ó  1 platform = Native application is cheaper Ó  2 platforms = Native applications are cheaper Ó  3 platforms = HTML5 application is cheaper

HTML5 The good the bad and …

1.  Smartphones will shortly be the majority of mobile phones in Canada and the world

2.  Things change… quickly! 3.  Things change even faster in mobile 4.  Multi-platform technologies both a

challenge & opportunity
