Another phone

Another company announced their "phone software".  That company only take care of software, so they are not responsible to the hardware.  The hardware design company was very famous and success on Windows Mobile platform, but compare to their amazing Windows Mobile models, this new phone apparently is not the best design.

Sorry the 'another phone software' company. You are not there yet.

WebKit gains more ground

Last November I wrote The Browser War 3.0 saying that WebKit will be the way of the embedded web in the mobile devices. Looks like this year WebKit gains more popularity. Not only Google Chrome use WebKit as the rendering engine, but also the new JavaFX JWebPane. Finally there is an official way to display the "street HTML" inside Swing components. Before JavaFX JWebPane, Swing has some minimum support of HTML for styled text, but they are not strong enough to be a web browser.  Eclipse RCP did a pretty good job to integrate native browser (such as IE) into SWT component.  I really look forward to see the JavaFX WebKit integration. With this component, the technical boundary of Rich Internet Application will be redefined.  It sounds possible to me to write a JavaFX RIA contains a JavaScript RIA inside.
