    Questions about SmartClient Mobile Beta

    The demo for the Smartclient Beta is impressive.
    I have a few queries.
    1. There is an option to find out if the device is running Android or iOS which is good. What if the user is using anyother smartphone like Windows7 or Bada? The reason for this question is what should I do to prevent a user from accessing the appication in if he is using a desktop browser.
    2. Is there any way to access the native features like getting the phone number of the user and his contact details?
    3. Is it possible to use visualization charts with SmartClient Mobile Beta?

    1. the list of devices is changing too fast, and there are too many ways of detecting and reacting to unsupported devices for it to make sense for this to be a framework function - for convenience we enable iOS and Android detection but if you want to allow/disallow other devices this should be done in your own code.

    2. yes - package the application with PhoneGap and it has such access. There will be examples for this but they are not complete yet

    3. you can in theory use any GWT charting component that works on mobile, and we will be adding our own chart components as well.

    If you need any of these sped up (including sample creation), we have a Feature Sponsorship program.

      Why do this in the first place? It's more trouble for you and there usually isn't any good reason to actively keep desktop users off the mobile version, which might be more useful on low-bandwidth connections.
