- Android and iPhone browser wars, Part 1: WebKit to the rescue by Frank Ableson - [Clicks: 6]
Mobile devices play an ever-increasing role in our lives today. We use them to communicate. We use them to navigate. We even use them as a handy flashlight. While custom applications are extremely popular for the iPhone and the Android platforms, there is an opportunity in mobile Web applications. This article is the first in a two-part series on developing browser-based applications for iPhone and Android. Along the way, we will build a simple network monitoring application that runs within the confines of the desktop and both mobile browsers.

Adaptive user interfaces assist users in accomplishing tasks in an application and construct a model of the user's preferences so as to serve them better in the future. Examples include systems that filter news stories, recommend products, and so on. This approach to personalized services is relatively new but has great potential for improving the effectiveness of human-computer interfaces. Health care is a significant area where adaptive user interfaces can be of great use. Health care users range from having little computer knowledge (for example, some nurses or doctors) to having expert computer knowledge (for example, system administrators). And, there can be many other distinguishing factors when it comes to patients. Therefore, adapting a computer application's interface to different types of users is important to improve the usability of such applications. Two major techniques used for adaptation are adaptive presentation and adaptive navigation. Adaptive presentation involves personalizing the contents presented to the user. Adaptive navigation involves customizing ways by which users complete their tasks in the application. These techniques can be used to enhance the usability of health care applications, thereby contributing to their success.
