WebKit is a layout engine designed to allow web browsers to render web pages. WebKit powers Google Chrome and Safari and implements the HTML5 and CSS3 specifications, using JavaScript for programming.

Mobile phones such as iPhone and Android have browsers capable of rendering HTML5/CSS and even implement device specific extensions and APIs for controlling the device's hardware using HTML and JavaScript.

Thus, with WebKit technology it is possible render native-looking applications using HTML5/CSS3 and perform almost as if they were written in Java or Objective C.

However, you still need a way to market your web applications to Market Places and App Stores. The technology that makes this possible is called PhoneGap. PhoneGap is a set of Frameworks that wrap your HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript code inside a native binary shell which is then compiled into a monolithic application package.

mobileFX Studio 7 is fully integrated with PhoneGap Build Service, meaning that you can design your applications in Studio 7, test and debug them on your PC using your favorite WebKit browser, and then submit them to PhoneGap build service from within mobileFX Studio 7 IDE with a single click!

To view this HTML5/CSS3 demo you need a WebKit browser such as Chrome, Safari or an iPhone.
