Is there any way to make a web page scan for beacons on iOS ? I know that no iOS web browser supports Web Bluetooth at the present. I even could not find any information about if Chrome team is planning to add support for Web Bluetooth for Chrome on iOS.
Is there any other way to scan for the beacons on iOS thru' web browsers (be it Safari or Chrome) ?
Thanks
Unfortunately, Google can't add Web Bluetooth to Chrome for iOS without Apple's participation, and Apple has given no indication that they are supporting the Web Bluetooth project.
Understand that Apple restricts web browsers on iOS to use Safari or Safari web views, which has the same JavaScript engine and bindings as Safari. Google Chrome for iOS is required to use the same internal rendering and JavaScript engine as Safari, which simply does not support Web Bluetooth.
Bottom line: While it is possible that Apple will one day decide to join the Web Bluetooth party, there can be no support on third party iOS browsers until Apple decides to do so.

I am most interested to know the earliest versions of ios and chrome for android supporting this.
The web speech API currently works in Chrome, but I have been unable to get in to work in mobile chrome on the iPhone. I haven't been able to find any info on the net, as to whether there is a way to access the API on mobile, or whether it works on Chrome for Android.
Is Chrome on Google TV different than Chrome that I use on my desktop?
If yes, what is the difference?
I ask this question since I noticed that my yahoo page loads differently on my Chrome desktop than Chrome on Google TV.
Thank you for your help.

Is the Google TV browser different than the one on my personal computer?
Can I access the same content?
The browser on Google TV is basically the Linux version of Google Chrome 11. While the user > interface is modified slightly for the TV form factor, most of the rendering and web
platform capabilities are consistent with desktop versions of Google Chrome and you will
receive the latest updates automatically.

I have a HTML/Javascript web application which integrates with a device's camera using PhoneGap.
Is there any way we can run the application on a Windows 7 tablet (e.g. as a normal website) and be able to integrate with the camera on the device.
You will be, eventually, when the getUserMedia API is implemented in more browsers (currently only available in Opera and special builds of other browsers), but at the moment, no.
I don't believe there is a way to do this.
We enabled photos to be dragged into the application to support this feature. It means the user takes a photo as dictated by the tablet and then has to drag/select the appropriate photo file to add to the application.
I have Web App that cache as per HTML5 on iPhone and Android and desktop browsers
the manefestfile is called cache.manifest
I have arrived at that as it is supported both on android and iPhone
I see AppsGeyser now say that their product support HTML5 apps but when I create an app and load on Android the AppsGeyser app says UNCAHCED
Anyone got cache working on AppsGeyser
HTML5 is a good chose for mobile development. The best thing about HTML5 is that you can move any time to another framework. I can suggest PhoneGap ( http://www.phonegap.com/start/ ) as a stable one.
You can find a lot of such frameworks listed on Wiki:
