Could the mobile web save Windows mobile, by providing users with most of the applications every other platform has? Gruber:
That might actually be true, and it actually gives them a chance — if they were either able to produce a WebKit-caliber mobile browser or willing simply to adopt WebKit themselves. A big if, but at least that’s possible.
The “if” is not as big as that: there is already browser competition on WinMo, and some of the browsers are already standards compliant and HTML5 ready. As a shameless plug, we have an alpha out there that stands up pretty well.
