Abstract
A Smartphone is a mobile phone that has higher computing capabilities than an ordinary mobile phone. It supports an operating system which provides a standard interface & platform for application development, application development for Smartphone's is generally done using native programming which is specific to the Smartphone's operating system, for instance objective c for I phone, java for android and so on. Applications can also be developed using web-technologies i. e. JavaScript, CSS and HTML. Application development would become seamless if we could combine the use of web-technologies, and develop an application which can be deployed on all platforms after writing it once and also be able to use the native features of the smart phone. (Accelerometer, touch-flow etc). Cross-platform framework can be defined as a framework which enables a developer to write the application once and deploy it on multiple platforms, by using web-technologies which are capable of using the native device features. In this paper we have explored various cross-platform development frameworks for Smartphones, our focus is mainly on two frameworks, Rhomobile and Phone gap and we have compared the capabilities of the two frameworks.
