So it is no secret that Progressive Web Apps are the future for the majority of development. Most major popular applications are looking for how they can implement their app as a PWA. It obviously saves lots of money and time because their is only one target platform with one set of tools.
The really interesting thing to me is how PWAs are beginning to eat into mobile app development. There seems to be a movement where tech companies are trying again to move back to using their website as their only product. I’ve seen demos from Twitter and Lyft where their entire app happens through a browser. If this trend continues then Microsoft’s position to break back into mobile is looking better and better.
What do you think, do PWAs give new life to a mobile device from Microsoft?
(sorry for the click-bait headline. I just thought Paul would cringe at the thought of PWAs being used as an excuse that Windows Mobile is not dead)

<blockquote><a href="#181042"><em>In reply to TheJoeFin:</em></a></blockquote><p>IMO, there's no business case for such a device. A worker who performs only simple computing tasks has no need to have a smartphone purchased by their employer. The cost/performance ratio for an expensive phone along with a dock and standard peripherals would be poor compared to a modest PC.</p><p><br></p><p>I'm not entirely clear on the device you're describing, however. If it ran Windows on ARM it wouldn't require a dock to run 32bit desktop programs (although they'd suck on a small screen) if instead it used Continuum which would require a dock, it wouldn't be able to run legacy programs – it would just allow specially designed UWP apps to look better on a big screen. Or perhaps you mean the dock would be running full Windows, in which case it would be essentially a PC that requires a smartphone to use.</p><p><br></p><p>Maybe I'm missing something.</p>

<p>Movement? No, there is no movement. Native Apps are better, because it's faster. </p><p><br></p><p>Even if Microsoft does come back with a brand new mobile, nobody should buy it. Microsoft hardware technologies are old made to look new again. They don't have the genius and creative minds to come up with something new and build the necessary momentum to build upon it. Not just that, they can't do anything fast enough. Consider Microsoft products dead and anything they make a living dead (aka "walker"). </p><p><br></p><p>It's never about the product. It's all about what the company can do for you and how best they can give it to you. For example Google has a plethora of cloud and information and entertainment services that people need and use and Android is a way to give to them. Same thing can be said with Amazon and their consumer products and services. Microsoft? Just Office 365 rentals. What's so funny, is how MS Office is so overplayed by Microsoft. It seems like everything they make is designed so people can check the Outlook email and Calendar. Microsoft is so "work-minded" they make me laugh. </p>

<p>Well, it's true that PWAs are one of the latest in a long series of software development fads that were going to be the "future" but fell short of expectations. Time will tell, but generally anything that is promised to do more than be just another tool in the toolkit is going to be unable to live up to that promise.</p>
