  • Handling SMS delivery receipts
  • Recently, we looked at how to send SMS messages using a standard HTTP POST-based API. As was intimated at the time, most APIs also allow you to process delivery receipts for the messages you send. This allows you to determine the status of the message, i.e. delivered, failed, expired etc. Let's take a look at how this all works. Sending SMS Messages - A Quick Recap

  • Sending SMS from Apps and Webapps
  • It’s easy to send SMS messages from any Web site or application, but it’s surprising how few sites/applications actually do this. Integrating SMS into your system gives it something extra, and allows your system to enhance the mobile experience for the user.

  • Testing on Physical Devices Made Easy
  • In past articles, we've discussed testing mobile Web sites using browsers, and testing using emulators.

  • SMS Bubble UI in iPhone Apps
  • Users of iPhone are no stranger to the built-in SMS application that displays your messages using cute little bubbles (see Figure 1).

  • One of the several features outlined in the HTML 5 specification is the support for Web applications that continue to work while they are offline. This feature is very useful for Web applications because a Web application can be loaded just once and then run offline without needing a persistent Internet connection, making it behave just like a locally installed native application. Dashcode supports the manifest attribute available in the HTML 5 specifications for offline web applications. And so in this article, you will learn how to write offline iPhone Web applications using Dashcode.

  • Location in iPhone Web Apps
  • One of the key limitations of developing Web applications for iPhone is that you are not allowed to access the hardware on the device via the Web browser. For example, you cannot access the camera on the iPhone; neither can you access the accelerometer. This seriously limits the kinds of applications you can develop on the iPhone. One notable exception, however, is the support for tracking the location of devices, through a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular triangulation.

This forum should be used to discuss the mobiForge site itself (the site formerly known as dev.mobi) - What do you think of it? How can we improve it? What are we missing that you would like to see on the site?
