Although the choice of develop- ment platform is largely market-driven, it also depends on the characteristics of available platforms and the require- ments of particular applications. To illuminate the status and trends in current development platforms, we re- viewed and compared four popular mobile-application runtime environ- ments with respect to various quantita- tive and qualitative criteria. We based the comparisons on data from ear-
