Should Cloud Computing be Included in PhoneGap

Developers Committed to the Cloud computing experienced are quite confident that PhoneGap should be implemented on the cloud as well. Either you are a PhoneGap application developer from New York or from Alaska; you need to make sure that the technology is being implemented in the cloud as well. We just cannot forget that cloud is an emerging technology and the whole virtualization works around it certainly. It is the VMware cloud, Apple’s iCloud or the Amazon’s cloud platform. Even the Windows’ Azure does seems to be an incredible approach towards cloud by Microsoft. Sadly, in case of the PhoneGap the technocrats has been taking it as an advantage, that cloud is being not use in case of the PhoneGap. However, is that an advantage? We are going to look at each side of the coin right now.

We need to look at the plus point of the cloud computing at first. Apple’s iCloud as well as the Amazon’s cloud platform have been a success. In comparison to this the Apple’s iCloud as well as the Amazon’s cloud has been much bigger success. Microsoft has taken the Azure, Windows as well as the office to the mobile space. Let us have a look at some of the stats. During the Q2 2012 Appcelerator/IDC Mobile developer report, IOS was the leader with 16% margin over the android app developers.

Most of the developers do think now that the IOS will certainly win. Android does arrest the developer interest. Undoubtedly, the commitment of the mobile developer towards the cloud is huge and it rates around 84% in the Q2 2011 definitely. 50.4% of the Mobile application developers have shown keen interest to use the iCloud and for the Amazon as well the story is quite heartening. Around 49.1% of the developers are in favor of using the Amazon Cloud. However, Windows’ Azure is right now not that popular and only 18.6% of the developers want to use the Microsoft‘s Azure.

Some of the most popular services among all the cloud services are the push notifications, authentications as well as the social integration that are just amazing. Right now, mobile application developers have been using the easy services of the clouds and the cloud services in the field of mobility are certainly an infant right now that is certainly quite awesome.

Almost all the PhoneGap developer apps have been made without the use of the cloud and it does confirm that there are some drawbacks of the cloud definitely. You need access to data centers as well as you need internet all the time. There can be private cloud as well and that can be a part of an intranet for a company.

However, Cloud computing is certainly going to be used more and more in the future and we just cannot discard its usage in the future definitely. That is certainly something that makes the technology bright and you gets ample chance through IAAS, PAAS and SAAS, that is just amazing to note down certainly. Undoubtedly, the concept of the cloud will be a boon as well as wonderful gift for all kind of PhoneGap Application Developers and the cloud computing will make them feel a lot happier.
