Now this is what I call proper Web 2.0 on mobile. Nokia’s Serena Glover has been talking to MocoNews about the company’s plans for its Ovi services, and this nugget leapt out at me:
“With Ajax on the Web, there’s so much functionality - you can drag and drop and do more all the time. The same thing will happen on the device.”
This is part of a discussion about the way multimedia stuff happens through applications downloaded to your phone right now, rather than directly in the mobile web browser, as they do for PC based users.Glover says Nokia is working to change this, for example by hooking up your handset’s camera directly to the browser “so you don’t have dual experiences”. It’s intriguing stuff, although it also ties into the debate I just posted about, where including Ajax and other Web 2.0 technologies swells the size of websites, which isn’t always good for mobile browsing.
