Apple Intros WebKit2

Apr 9, 2010, 7:23 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Apple recently announced WebKit2, a new framework for its web browsing technology. Apple says of WebKit2, "WebKit2 is designed to support a split process model, where the web content (JavaScript, HTML, layout, etc.) lives in a separate process. This model is similar to what Google Chrome offers, with the major difference being that we have built the process split model directly into the framework, allowing other clients to use it." Apple's WebKit technology has become widespread across the mobile space, and is used in the iPhone's Safari browser, the Android browser, and Nokia's S60 browser. This new version of WebKit could lead to significant changes in the way mobile browsers behave. Apple has made the open source code available to developers on both the Mac and Windows platforms.

Getting sick!

Is anyone else as sick and tired of reading about Apple? Apple this, Apple that. C'mon there is more to this world than Apple. Yes we can easily say there is Android, but I'm talking along the lines of Windows Mobile, dumbphones with PTT, QWERTY messaging, etc. ANYTHING other than Apple! I know some don't want to talk about some of those but if we don't take some attention off Apple some phone makers will be like, well who cares how great we make this phone, nobody worships us like they do in the Apple iCult.

No respect, I'm telling ya.

"Apple's WebKit technology has become widespread across the mobile space, and is used in the iPhone's Safari browser, the Android browser, and Nokia's S60 browser." And WebOS used by a little American company named Palm.

It's actually the basis for Palm's entire application platform. Webkit almost means more for Palm than it does Apple. 🤣
