What is mobile ajax?

Ajax is ones of web technology which originally developed for desktop. Ajax can make the web more interactive with user, and enrich user experience. Do you ever use desktop application? I bet you had, because to read this article itself you need a application called browser. Anyway, we used to use desktop application to faster and ease our job a decade ago, but now desktop application start to get replaced by web application, which can be accessed not only on single computer like desktop application, but we can access web application every where on earth! Ok, I know I mean every where you have internet connection.
Ok, what is the relation beetwen web application and ajax. Ajax will make the web can respond to user without any refresh, so web application run faster, and interactive because it don't need to reload the whole page just to make slight difference. If you want to know more about ajax, just take a look in your yahoo mail , or gmail, you can chat with people inside your mailbox, isn't it? Do you see the page refresed everytime you send or receive message, of course not, because they use ajax.

Mobile ajax
Currently, mobile application keep getting user attention, and i ever heard people can get US$ 250000 just by selling one game on apple itunes! Mobile game and application popularity grow very fast.But it has one very annoying problem, which is more and more company enter this industry and develop mobile platform. So what is the point? Because those company develop their own platform, and their own hardware, so in the market we can see bunch of mobile phone variety. Application developed for ones platform often not compatible with others. So, if there is 100 platform on the market, developers need to customize their application for every single platform, WOW what a hard work.
Oh, there is alternative for that, why don't we use web application instead of traditional application on mobile phone. The challenge is interactivity, in mobile application we can more interactive and get fast respond than browsing a web. But, this challenge will be answered by leveraging mobile ajax. So, if we can develop robust mobile ajax application, we can make our application accessible on every mobile phone, and every mobile platform, WOW!. Why?
Do you ever see mobile phone doesn't have browser nowaday? of course almost mobile phone have browser, except you buy old mobile phone for the sake of an art!

Conclution

Mobile ajax is the future for mobile phone, more and more people will need to develop mobile web than mobile application. It will worth their time, no need to customize their application for every platform. GO AJAX!
