Google Gears, the web runtime framework from Google that allows websites and services to be used offline, is heading for mobile phones starting with Windows Mobile devices. Not as exciting as today’s Microsoft announcement of Silverlight for Nokia’s S40, S60 and Maemo platforms, but it further reinforces my argument that the next war on mobile is not in the OS space, but in the runtime layer.
This video is not worth watching, mainly because the guy talking calls IE Mobile the best browser out there in terms of being open. Calling IE Mobile the best open browser is just … wrong on so many levels.

It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
