I’ve been writing quite a lot about Java applications recently and their use as a kind of offline browser – or On Device Portal, as they are also known. If you can get over the hurdle that Java isn’t easy to develop for, offline browsing makes a lot of sense in these days of still relatively slow and occasionally dropped connections.
Troy Norcross and fellow Mobilist was commissioned by U-turn Media to write a report recently and interviewed me as part of the research. While the report has been commissioned by a company to help market its own products, it gives a nicely balanced view of what ODPs are, what they can do and how they should be used.
