Web in OS.
Brings the Web closer to your operating system, is one way of interpreting the name of the EU funded research project with the name Webinos.
There has actually been quite much written about the project lately, for instance by the BBC, since the news got out that the project got its funding and is now kicked-off.
My feeling was that, to a large extent media picked this up as, yet another apps platform. This is not quite the case. Webinos is about solving problems that the Web is struggling with today.
The research project is set to push technology beyond its current state in a number of areas, from how we merge web technologies with native platforms to how we deal with identities and fundamentally making your device a part of the cloud.
Being a research project it has a very hands on side as well in that all the ideas and inspiration that is thrown in now at the start will end up in open source code.
The project brings together industry experts from manufacturers to academia in a great mix that I believe can really make a change.
