  • Dynamically change the contents of HTML pages through DHTML

  • Dynamically change the contents of forms on HTML pages

  • Call a browser to perform various tasks, such as manipulating form fields or form submissions

  • Provide on-device logic in native code

  • Control device-specific hardware through vendor-provided APIs (e.g., pagers, scanners, IR)

  • Integrate with third-party on-device software through vendor-provided APIs (e.g., databases, MP3 players)

  • Allow users to interact with HTML pages when disconnected, if the page is cached on the device
