Intel Web 2.0 Technology Development Kit

Intel Web 2.0 TDK is a Javascript API, binary and source codes to allow you to create web applications by taking advantage of the mobile features on notebooks and UMPCs. It allows the creation of Web 2.0 applications with the platform and the environment in mind by leveraging information about the platform's configuration and context to provide more expressive interactions and better user experience for Web 2.0 applications, especially on mobile platforms where intermittent connectivity and limited power are common issues.

For instance, if Web 2.0 applications could be aware of the platform they are running on and the environment then they could leverage multi-core power to provide more immersive user interfaces, postpone certain tasks during low power situations, avoid network traffic over low bandwidth/high latency connections, etc.

The Intel Web 2.0 Technology Development Kit (TDK) allows developers to learn about the platform's configuration, e.g. display, storage, processor, and the platform's context, e.g. bandwidth, connectivity, power and location, etc. within a browser using JavaScript.The Intel Web 2.0 TDK contains documentation and full source code (C++ and JavaScript) for IE 6/7. The code can be incorporated directly in your extensions or JavaScript libraries, and be redistributed royalty free. Learn more about the Intel Web 2.0 Technology Development Kit.

Task

Use the Intel TDK to build Web 2.0 applications that respond gracefully to platform state changes such as power source changes, battery power levels and WiFi signal strength variations or indeed build an application that detects changes in network connectivity and connection quality and gracefully handle intermittent connectivity or supports offline operation and handle low bandwidth power situations.
