Hi, I am writing a Bachelor Thesis on mobile Web Development.

I was wondering if you could tell me some distinct differences that sets GWT Mobile apart from mgwt.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any myself by going through the documentation on the website.

Cheers.

One difference I can tell you is that the other project adopted the MVC pattern. GWT Mobile took a simpler approach. GWT Mobile widgets are just plain old gwt widgets. For that reason GWT Mobile widgets work very well with UI binder. I do realize that MVC is quite trendy these days in web programming. However, I think it is overkill for mobile web and I don't like boilerplate code.

Great, that really helped me a lot, thank you :)

To expand on Dennis's reply, since gwt-mobile just uses plain old gwt widgets, you are not precluded from using an MVC pattern. I currently use it with an MVP pattern...it's just that it's not built into gwt-mobile itself.

Right :)
