Where is the information on SmartClient for mobile?

[xjamesb]

I love SmartClient but all my friends say that I should be using Sencha for mobile.

Do you have and documentation such as white papers or blog articles showing how SmartClient can be used for mobile. I know that there is some documentation in the SmartClient reference but is it not very comphrensive. Some demo apps would be good...

Every sample is a mobile sample, that's the whole point. However, don't just load the Showcase on a phone because that's obviously too much for a portable device - grab code from any sample and run it standalone. Also, be sure to use the Mobile skin.

Well, most ListGrids are not optimal on an iphone, purely because a grid is not good for a small screen.

Isomorphic provided this few guidelines for starters:

An additional question though:
Would you recommend to package the mobile version as a separate deployed project, sharing things like .ds.xml files with the web version? (Option 1)

A different scenario (Option 2) is to use History tokens to distinguish between mobile and web, ie.

http://mysystem.com/EntryPointHtml.html

points to the webversion, and

http://mysystem.com/EntryPointHtml.html/#mobile

points to the mobile version?

Which of the two would you recommend? Two is easier as far as implementation is concerned, it is just one project, but I think the load times are slower?

Isomorphic, and anyone else that used mobile web app development using SmartGWT is very kindly requested to share experiences :-)

Folks,

I think a lot of people would benefit from a more detailed/considered answer from Isomorphic. Mobile clients are becoming more and more important - I know for example that have to decide very shortly how we will provide mobile-based functionality within our application.

SC is very powerful, but must preload quite a bit of code. I know this can be optimised, and is something all JS-based toolkits must do.

So, to ask some specific questions:

1. Does SC work on:

Windows mobile browsers?
Apple iPHONE?
Apple iPAD
Android devices?

2. Assuming the back-end is a non-JAVA environment, and using SOAP-type communications, are there any known issues with SOAP-based communications from each of the clients listed in the previous question?

Thank you.
