Re: GWT Mobile App Widgets

Yes, if you are trying to cover that case, then you must absolutely
find a mobile library that can potentially support any of the
installable browsers in mobile devices. The important case to always
keep in mind I would say is over engineering. Unless it's a
requirement from the client, I would ask myself the question, what
percentage of the market am I trying to support? Ideally the answer
would be 100%, reality it's a different story. This is more the case
since mobile web is fairly young. Even the web after all these years
would be a nightmare if you removed GWT and libraries like it that
have tried to make the developer experience better by hiding the
browser differences or better said quirks.

About a year and a half ago, perhaps more already, there was a point
where the future of mobile web for developers looked bright. It was
all going to be based on webkit or at least most of it and the world
was going to be a happy place.

Fast forward and we find a world where there is an incredible amount
of fragmentation in the mobile market place with multiple versions of
webkit, many don't exactly behaving consistently. Throw into the mix
your request and it's almost starting to feel like we are right back
to the web as we know it today where may browsers exists with
difference in behavior not only between them but even among versions.

Best of luck and wish your project the best.
