Mobile Development Panel Discussion from NDC!
What, another mobile panel? Yes - a totally different one. This mobile panel discussion was recorded at the Norwegian Developer Conference. Lots of strong debate about HTML 5 vs. native applications, the power and problems of PhoneGap and how app stores are breaking down. Not to be missed!
