The phone market is really fragmented these days, with Nokia, iPhone, etc. There's a lot of phones being bought, but they're split across vendors, which means different platforms and not a lot of x-plat solutions. At jQuery Conference this weekend, there was a presentation on Mobile Apps and a pretty strong suggestion by the author that each platform's requirements for it's own language might mean writing an app four times. An alternative might be to write an app in HTML and Javascript and have it run on all the platforms. The PhoneGap runtime (http://phonegap.com/) is one that's designed to do this, and is Open Source. The original slideshow was at http://www.slideshare.net/brianleroux/mobile-javascript. Skip slide 16 if you're offended by the F* word. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
