MobileOK and W3C Vs Mobile AJAX

MobileOK, generally considered as mobile web standardization is one of the attempted methods from the overall standard point of view while Full Browsing is the attempt to improve browser centered mobile web accessibility. MobileOK standardization considered as the Mobile Web Standardization profound by W3C since 2005 seeks to make the Mobile Web utility higher and carries out programs on developing the benchmarking case of mobile web environment, developing the terminal information sharing technology, and developing MobileOK verification mark. It has started Phase II programs after successful completion of Phase I programs.

The guideline for mobile web benchmark cases, MobileOK reference test specification and standardization of mobile device data storage are Phase I activities. For Phase II activities; device data storage API standardization, Mobile Web 2.0 environment, and test suite standardization will be implemented.

AJAX is DOM engine for XML processing, CSS and Java script and browsing event; in another words AJAX is an application technology based on asynchronous. Different dynamic processing has been enabled by recognition of those methods.

Because of its ability to deliver an outstanding graphic environment, internet in mobile AJAX is on the escalating way. Applications using AJAX such as widget are considered to provide user friendlier interfaces in the mobile environment. Nevertheless, the most powerful strength of AJAX allows wired AJAX application like Google Map to be used as in the mobile environment.

One of the drawbacks of the AJAX is compatibility between AJAX platforms has become an issue particularly DOV event and XMLHTTP request has become a key issue.
