iPhone Tech Talks, on October 12th 2007 (at Washington D.C.'s JW Marriott)
Well, what is this and why did I go? The iPhone Tech Talk is a focused look at what the iPhone can do; and how it might be leveraged to achieve its potential for web applications. Coincidentally, this talk also covers the sibling product, the iPod Touch (in fact anywhere below where I'm referencing iPhone, it's safe to assume that the same applies to the iPod Touch). And, in my opinion, it covers a whole movement away from WAP and other mobile web technologies toward the Internet as it will be seen in the future on almost every mobile device. The cell phone industry is about to embrace the software industry; and it's all Apple's fault.
Mozilla just announced they'll catch up to Opera and Safari with real mobile browser technology, soon. (I'm honestly not sure where MicroSoft's Internet Explorer is in the mix, if you know leave a comment below. Does Windows Mobile have a full-fledged browser?) Other phones are already popping up that aspire to Apple's groundbreaking approach to mobile internet delivery. The fact is, the internet is starting to grow beyond the desktop (and laptop) to ever smaller devices, but with the same content quality. While retaining many familiar capabilities, there are some trade-offs and exceptions; more on that later.
