Hi, I'm Paul, but you can also call me Todd and I won't get upset.

Google Developer Day

Between moving house, two projects in crisis, no broadband and google dev day I hav'nt had the chance to do any decent coding for the blog.

I was however really impressed with what google gears potentional was on a mobile device, especially for Enterprise applications.

It makes development much simpler as the code can be written in Javascript and the code takes care of syncing it with the backend services.

Currently C++/Symbian Signed is just too expensive for Enterprise applications and whilst Red Five's .net version is awsome, its not 3rd edition compliant yet.

Hopefully Nokia will add the needed extensions to the webkit to allow native javascript addons via ecom.

Google refused to be drawn on this issue when the question was asked :(
