Question and Answer about YouAtNotes Mobile Framework
Just got a question via mail an sent the following answer:
>I would be very interested to hear more about your framework. How is the data >stored on the mobile device and what mechanism do you use to replicate data >between it and the Domino server? Do you view your framework as a competitor to >Unplugged and will you be marketing it commercially? I don't really know Unplugged and how they do it. Our framework builds on top of Titanium, that means you are free to develop the mobile application as you like with Titanium, and when it comes to data management, getting data from Domino, pushing it back and so on then you can use the objects and classes of our framework. In the backend the data is being exchanged via HTTP, ajax-style, that means everything runs in the background and does not block the app. I don't want to reveal how the data is stored on the device yet. But beside the NotesView and NotesDatabase classes I talked about in my blog post, there is even a NotesDocument class :-) I think our framework is different from solutions like Teamstudio Unplugged or the software from We4IT since we allow to create native, device optimized applications which interact with Domino data. As far as I know, all other solutions try to use a generic XPages container on the device to display an XPages based application. And Teamstudio works with Blackberry and not iOS or Android, does it? While I see Blackberry still being strong in the enterprise market, I see iOS getting stronger and stronger. I would like to service Blackberry, too, but the Titanium platform is not available on Blackberry yet. I'm unsure about the role of Android for enterprises, therefore our focus is on iOS at the moment. Yes, we plan to market it commercially. We will see how the response is in the next months and during Lotusphere.
