Mobile HTML5 by Estelle Weyl

Mobile HTML5 by Estelle Weyl Book "Mobile HTML5" is really good. I have heard about it last year at Front-Trends conference and I'm glad because of this. It's really good for beginners and intermediate developers.  Estelle Weyl reminded me that mobile HTML5 is 95% just HTML5. You can treat this book as a reference of various mobile quirks especially if you need to support something else than only newest Safari on iPhone.  If you are interested in HTML5 but mostly how to use it in mobile browsers this book is for you. It covers every aspect of mobile web development so you can read about CSS3, JavaScript and even some basics of DevTools.  Rating: 8/10 

B2G - Firefox OS

This project gained big attention and in my opinion is really interesting, both technically and commercially. Thin client was always dream of the future, recently Google tried it with ChromeOS but it wan't successfull. In my opinion this was because of price, and Desktop look&feel. Maybe with tablet with ChromeOS it would be more popular. Mozilla with new project wants to create cheap and application friendly OS for mobile phones. Core applications like support for SMS, or talks would be cached for offline use. I menioned offline because most of applications will work just as HMTL5 Web Applications! This rally can be first operating system that will be like mobile browser in the pocket ;) I really think recently about new phone: Windows Phone - interesting, but I need desktop Windows to write applications :( iPhone - Mac OS :( Android - whatever OS I want The only thing that stops me was price... There are of course cheap phones, but they are for me too slow....
