If I build a web app that uses the web audio api can tidesdk be used to package it up and turn it into a desktop app and still have "Web Audio API" functionality?
WebKit is currently being upgraded. Once it is, there will be no issue to do exactly what you want. We'll announce the availability of this when it is available.

There is a mess of services converting your existing web application into a native iOS and/or Android app.
For push notifications they all support OneSignal.
But I couldn't find any supporting Pusher.com.
Did anybody know a service like GoNative which support Pusher?
Thanks.
While I am not familiar with app conversion tools you mentioned, you should be able to use Pusher Beams SDKs for Android and iOS directly.
You can find the SDKs here:
iOS: https://github.com/pusher/push-notifications-swif
Android: https://github.com/pusher/push-notifications-android
And there are several tutorials published on Pusher Tutorials site, just search for the Beams tag:

I am searching for some messaging systems or frameworks which are readily to be integrated into .NET web application, which is similar to that found in Facebook and Google, but without voice and video call. Also it can support Mobile Native App. Are there any options for this system?
Any answer would be highly appreciated.
I need to build a web application in asp.net where users can use their scanner to upload images to the website. Is there a flash or a silverlight component out there that can accomplish this?
Flash or Silverlight might not a good choice. You may use an ActiveX (in IE) or an NPAPI plugin (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) to get access to the scanner via the TWAIN API.
If you have the time or a limited budget, you can create your own plugin. Otherwise, you can try a commercial TWAIN library. Dynamsoft has a multi-browser web-scanning toolkit which supports scanning and uploading images in all mainstream browsers/

I have a c# windows application that can successfully record audio using user's desktop mic.
Now i want this facility to run from ASP.NET website. (Note: user would not have this application installed on his machine).
Is there a way that i can run this application from a web page and record and save sound file on user's desktop? I searched on google and found that it is achievable using ActiveX. But i am not sure how to do this.... :((
Any Clue...??
Thanks...
You are not going to be able to do this using standard HTML / web browser functionality.
You will need to use a richer, client-side platform like Silverlight or Flash. ActiveX could also support this, but it's a pretty dated technology. Better to go with Silverlight or Flash.
I want to build a web application (SaaS) that can work both in Online and Offline modes. The user needs limited features in case he is offline and full feature access when he becomes online again. I thought of the following options:
Make the user download a local server such as Cassini and devise an architecture to allow online and offline modes in the web application. I am not sure how it will be done but I believe all the commands will be routed through this local server. The local server will then decide whether it accesses the local resources or the server.
Making a user install application on his system will defeat the whole idea behind SaaS.
Use Google Gears - I just checked how Google Docs work in offline mode. It installs Google Gears on the user's system which was pretty neat and fast and copies all the files locally. A link is provided to access the offline version. This seems like a good option to me as it integrates a local server, relational datastore and a worker pool in itself but is Google Gears mature enough to be used in production?
Has anyone worked/working on such an application. Ideas welcome.
EDIT #1:
I am not very familiar with Silverlight and whether it can be used in such a scenario.
EDIT #2: The following link mentions that SilverLight can be used to develop Offline applications Offline SilverLight
I am looking for expert comments from people who have used SilverLight in their development. Can user work offline? Can user re-open the same webpage after closing the browser window?
If you choose to let users install an app on their computer, I would consider developing a Windows Forms app instead of a web app, basically because this seem like a more logical solution. If you deploy the app using ClickOnce it is remarkably easy to keep the clients up to date.
From a user's point of view, I think that Gears is mature. I use in it Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs, pretty much without any problems. I don't know about the developer tools. It might help to use Google Clusure Library since it has methods specific for Google Gears.
Depending on the web browser that you need to support, you could also take a look at HTML 5. O'Reilly's online book Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has a chapter about making a web app work in offline mode.
Seems to me that "web application" and "offline mode" are a bit contradictory.
I have seen some examples of Silverlight being used in such a way however. And, at one time, I implemented a WinForms smart client application that worked in such a way. These days, though, I would definately look into Silverlight.
