The future of App VS Web internet age

In the future of mobile Internet, in the end is the web from behind, or app center mainstream it? Yes, apps do have a big advantage, especially when it's better to use hardware than the web, where Apple pushes apps instead of the web, because apps are built for mobile devices, speed, fluency, Interaction habits, page layout are the most attentive consideration, that is, the best user experience.

But wait. So you can launch the "Web Dead", "app centered" conclusion?

I don't think so. "Wired" article, but the traditional media in the voice of the PC after the internet seized by the trend of the new rise of Apple and the act of anger. It should be understood that they suddenly found the ipad and app such a life-saving straw, heartfelt gratitude and incoherent!

The reason the Web lags behind apps on the mobile internet is three points:

Before the advent of 1,iphone, the CPU hardware and operating system performance of mobile devices were far behind the PC. In my mind, the 2006 smartphone Windows Mobile, the mainstream CPU used by the 200M Hz based on ARM9 Omap 850; with, Web? This is the underlying foundation of the gap;

2, before the advent of the iphone, the content and gameplay of the smart mobile terminals were lackluster. and the composition of web world traffic source, the vast majority or from PC access, for the object of PC Browser Web development, is still the absolute center of gravity of the existing various web sites, the major sites launched mobile version of the site, basically positioning is only the original PC Internet Web site dependencies and supplements, The thinking and decision-making nature is mostly lineage and inheritance, rather than the mobile user needs as the center of Innovation, which is the blank of the upper application;

3, mobile browser performance, behind the PC browser performance, and Chrome and other "modern browser" on the PC development compared to the infant period, the PC browser is still the major browser brand development resources of the Absolute center;

Apple's historical contribution is to concentrate resources on 1 and 22 major issues, to fill the gap to the fullest, announcing the advance of the mobile Internet, the work can not be; if not Apple, Microsoft Windows Mobile's leisurely, certainly must wait until donkey, And Google was far from ready (with news that Android was rewritten after the iphone was launched);

But after the recent three or four years of development, the user needs and the use of the habit of the transfer has been unstoppable, the entire IT industry chain resources have been high-speed flocking to the mobile Internet, the above 3 root incorporated is quickly eliminated. In a word, the situation is changing dramatically, and it is no longer the time for Apple to go.

Mobile chips are getting stronger, dual-core and even four-core CPUs have arrived, and mobile versions of Web browsers are getting faster. On the other hand, since the app can be developed specifically for mobile devices, why not create a Web site for mobile devices? After all, the need for cross-platform coverage is always there, and the free and flexible web is the best way to satisfy it. A variety of innovative web sites that specialize in moving new requirements and adapting to new applications without worrying about version fragmentation will emerge.

Recent news suggests that Google is merging more chrome code and features into Android's own browser. A return to the Web is a good opportunity for Google to overtake Apple in the corners, and the pace is always slow if you follow Apple's App Store.

It just takes time! Of course, perhaps on the day of the prophecy, the differences and boundaries between app and web apps are blurred, and mobile browsers will become a Web container for default hidden address bars, as Chrome has experimented with on PCs. In particular, if you take into account the large-scale spread of two-dimensional code (see "Two-dimensional code arrival?"), access to a Web site may no longer require a bad soft keyboard input URL, take a shot, then the address bar has been necessary for the present? Oh, can't see the address bar of the browser and app between, you can distinguish it? By then, the Mobile browser is a box, radish cabbage casually into the pack it!

People don't care about apps or the web, just bring them the most convenience! So is the closed app, or the open web, the most convenient? The answer is self-evident.
