Since all the second-tier phone OS are saying "write HTML apps for us",
with some app manifest munging might the Firefox app work on them too? At
what point does a Web app become a modern HTML5 web site, or is it vice
versa? :)
The forthcoming, rebooted Wikipedia app for Firefox, geared at developing
and emerging markets, could in principle be munged to work on other
platforms, like the Chrome Web Store.
The HTML5 < --- > web app conversion cuts both ways.
I believe Jon, and maybe others on the core mobile web team, is examining
LocalStorage / AppCache enhancements for the mdot web experience.
Jon and I are going to talk tradeoffs regarding shoehorning mdot into the
app for Firefox versus starting fresh, looping Tomasz Finc and Dan Foy in
for prioritization.
