When it comes to cellular browsers, WebKit has quick turn out to be the defacto engineering for most huge smartphone platforms. From red-scorching Android to astonishing iOS to beleaguered Symbian and Blackberry — they all have turned to WebKit for their mobile searching needs. You would not be remiss in assuming that Apple and Google are WebKit’s most significant champions — due to the fact they are. These days, WebKit has a new very best pal, San Diego-based mostly chip maker Qualcomm.
In a conversation before this week, Rob Chandhok, Senior Vice President of Software program Strategy for San Diego-centered chip firm, stated that now his crew is a single of the largest “committers” to the open supply browser task. They are putting sources into Google’s V8 JavaScript engine as nicely. The assistance of WebKit is element of company’s strategic choice of embracing open up internet systems and championing the open up resource software, he mentioned.
Qualcomm is not performing this via the goodness of it is heart — the firm realizes that it needs to aid nurture HTML5. Qualcomm, Chandhok, pointed out wants to make it easy to access method degree parts these kinds of as the Graphics Processor (GPU), GPS, Compass and Digital camera in the browser for web-centered apps. Chandhok hopes that the business can let HTML5 apps to come into their personal and much like the wired internet, turn browser the center of mobile net knowledge versus the so known as native apps. “HTML5 and the browser will win above time. Maybe not this yr, but it will transpire,” he said.
As Rob pointed out, HTML5 apps assist app developers effortlessly overcome the fragmentation problems of Android and troubles that occur up with establishing for numerous mobile platforms. “We had fragmentation difficulties in the early days of Brew (a Qualcomm owned OS) because we did not have no leverage in the early days,” Chandhok mentioned.
When I asked him about the opportunities with HTML5 apps, he pointed out that “the Amazon cloud reader is a excellent starting position.” WebKit isn’t the only software program initiative for the chip giant, nonetheless. “In buy for us to be a platform, we require to have software alongside with our silicon,” Chandhok said. The firm right now has a lot more than five,000 staff devoted to its software package efforts and is stated to be one particular of the most energetic contributors to the Android ecosystem. If Qualcomm is reticent to share any particulars, it is since the firm also sells silicon to individuals who make non-Android units.
Chandhok is not shy to acknowledge that the a lot more individuals use the cellular world wide web and the increased their expectations from HTML5 apps, the a lot more probably they are to buy smartphones with better processors, larger screens and greater speed abilities. And all that implies a lot more desire for their chips.
