Titanium
Titanium is not an HTML5 mobile framework, it is a javascript based interface to native code modules included in the framework. It translates your hard won web skills into native applications that perform and look just like they were written in Objective-C [iPhone and iPad] or Java [Android]. With over 300 APIs, a thriving developer community, and the support you need, you can build applications that are more social, local, media rich, interactive, and extensible.
Native iPhone and Android Applications Rock
- Native User Experience Matters What’s the one thing you think of when you think ‘iPhone’? Chances are, it’s the UI. Titanium supports all of the iPhone, iPad and Android UI, including table views, scroll views, native buttons, switches, tabs, popovers and more.
- Killer Apps: Social Networking and Location-based Services Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, and Email come out-of-the-box. Geo-location, maps, and compass do as well. Your apps are more social and more local when you choose Titanium.
- Use your favorite web technologies You’ll feel right at home using your Javascript, HTML, and CSS skills and technologies to build the next great iPhone or Android app. Did we mention your favorite IDE is fine by us too?
- Rich Multimedia Titanium offers music, photo and video streaming/storing on a user’s device as well as custom video playback controls.
- Flexible Storage: Filesystem, Database On Device Store user preferences, save data files, or implement the mobile version of a cookie using SQL Lite and the iPhone / Android’s native file system.
- Unlimited Extensibility Titanium’s plug-in architecture allows you code modules in Objective-C or Java to extend your mobile app with custom native functionality and then call those modules using Javascript in Titanium.
- Your Best Shot: Access the Camera or Video Camera Snap a photo or video, store it on the phone, and push it to Flickr, Youtube, or your website.
- Cloud-Connected Apps RESTful web services are easy to tap into with Titanium. We’ve also included a full SOAP client for making SOAP API requests. And we’ve bundled in support for over 300 APIs via Yahoo YQL.

The First HTML5 Mobile Web App Framework.
- Enhanced Touch Events
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, it has a long list of custom events that can be used like tap, double tap, swipe, tap and hold, pinch, and rotate. - The World’s Best Devices
It’s currently compatible with Apple iOS 3+, Android 2.1+, and BlackBerry 6+ devices. - Data Integration
Developers can easily request data from a wide variety of sources whether by AJAX, JSONP, or YQL, bind that data to specific visual components or templates, and then take that data offline with localStorage writers. - Works Hand in Hand with PhoneGap
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.

It is a unified user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. Its lightweight code is built with progressive enhancement, and has a flexible, easily themeable design.

- Seriously cross-platform & cross-device
iOS, Symbian S60, Symbian UIQ, Symbian Platform, BlackBerry OS, Android, Windows Mobile, webOS, bada, Maemo, MeeGo - Touch-optimized layouts & UI widgets
Our aim is to provide tools to build dynamic touch interfaces that will adapt gracefully to a range of device form factors. The system will include both layouts (lists, detail panes, overlays) and a rich set of form controls and UI widgets (toggles, sliders, tabs) - Themable designs: Bigger and better
To make building mobile themes easy, we’re dramatically expanding the CSS framework to have the power to design full applications. For more polished visuals without the bloat, we added support for more CSS3 properties like text-shadow, box-shadow, and gradients.

Hi Guys,
Do you have a head-to-head comparative matrix ? Which is the most popular ? Thanks.
@fd489460261e7d6396dae62a0a7ea1bf:disqus
Usually all miss some little thing you need
. The most popular as I see is Titanium, but they have a lot “issues” with cross-device support if you gonna build some complex UI or functionality..
Download Qt SDK 1.1 from:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Develop/Qt/Tools/
With the new features in the Qt SDK 1.1, developers
can now publish high quality, graphically rich applications that will stand out
on our latest range of Symbian devices.
In addition to Qt Quick, the Qt SDK 1.1 includes map
and navigation features, imaging features for camera and photo gallery access,
notification API plug-ins and other enhancements that enable developers to
provide access to user content on the device.
So much to choose from… Bookmarked for later analysis, thanks!
