Apple may build on its success in delivering web-based applications
for its .Mac internet service by taking its iWork productivity suite
of applications online as early as next week's Macworld Expo.
A new report suggests that the trio of applications -- Pages, Keynote,
and Numbers -- will be reintroduced as web applications, similar to
the company's .Mac Web Gallery application that was built using
SproutCore.
SproutCore is an open source, platform-independent, Cocoa-inspired
JavaScript framework for creating web applications that look and feel
like Desktop applications. When combined with HTML5's standard offline
data storage technologies, the framework is capable of delivering a
first-class user experience with exceptional performance.
During a private session at this year's Worldwide Developers
Conference titled "Building Native Look-and-Feel Web Applications
Using SproutCore," Apple revealed that the framework played a critical
role in the development of each of the apps that comprise its online
suite of Web-based MobileMe applications.
In its report on the matter, AppleInsider noted that: "Using
SproutCore enabled Apple to deliver a new suite of online apps in
MobileMe for a cross platform audience. The natural next step will be
to expand those offerings to include others, for example, iWork
productivity apps."
Because SproutCore is offered under the open source MIT license,
anyone can use it to develop their own highly responsive web apps.
It's also believed that Apple will at some point invite third parties
to deliver their own MobileMe applications, either included as part of
the subscription service, or with their own nominal fee.
Such a move would mirror the company's efforts in creating a mobile
software market for the iPhone Apps Store.
