Inside First HTML5 Mobile Web App Framework
Sencha Touch allows you to develop mobile web apps that look and feel native on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry touch devices
Sencha Touch is the world's first app framework built
specifically to leverage HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript for the highest
level of power, flexibility, and optimization. We make specific use of
HTML5 to deliver components like audio and video, as well as a
localStorage proxy for saving data offline. We have made extensive use
of CSS3 in our stylesheets to provide the most robust styling layer
possible.
Altogether, the entire library is under 120kb (gzipped and minified), and it's trivial to make that number even smaller by disabling unused components or styles.
As the core method of interaction in a touch-based app,
robust touch events are vital to the framework's architecture. On top of
the standard events supported by the browser like touchstart and
touchend, we have added a long list of custom events that can be used
like tap, double tap, swipe, tap and hold, pinch, and rotate.
Whether you’d like to distribute your app on the iOS App Store or the
Android Marketplace, PhoneGap makes embedding your web app in a native
shell as easy as possible. PhoneGap also enables developers to utilize
native device APIs — like the Camera and Contact list — directly in
JavaScript.
