Mobile Web App Development with ASP.NET and HAWHAW- Development of mobile applications is often highly dependent on the target platform. If plain old XHTML markup is written from scratch then it is rather easy to switch between platform and technologies. But if the development process has been accelerated and made comfortable by the use of tools and middleware, it soon becomes difficult or impossible to switch environments e.g. from a LAMP environment to ASP.NET or vice versa.

Going Native (or you had me at 'hello') Part I- So I’ve got a confession to make here, I’ve been working on this bit for the better part of a month now in fits and starts, and having a hard time getting my head around it all. I started out with the notion of a quick primer comparing what it would take to knock out a quick ‘hello world’ on the various native platforms out there if you were to decide to do something other than a web app.

- The Google Phone Cometh (so what)?
- Last week saw the announcement of the first Android based device, the HTC Dream better known now as the T-Mobile G1. Despite the fact that this phone is based on on Open Source platform, the details as they have been released, make it feel very much like any other smartphone that Joe Consumer can go purchase from his operator. It's locked to T-Mobile USA at launch and will find its way into the UK in November before it conquers the world in 2009. Now the real question: So what?

- An Operator Decides to be Polite…
- Say what you will about the network operators with whom we have to play in the mobile space, but every now and again they do think of the developer community before implementing changes that may impact us all. Case in point, our friends over at AT&T devCentral recently sent out an announcement to the developer community about changes that will be coming as a result of some modifications to their gateway.

- FlashLite Version Detection update
- So if you’re an active FlashLite or Flash developer who keeps an eye on the mobile space, you may have noticed something that happened last month with one of the web’s largest Flash delivery site: YouTube. The change was around the mechanism they used for version detection, and draws attention back to a topic close to the heart of every mobile developer (flash or otherwise): user-agent detection.

The underestimated object element- One of the more powerful elements in XHTML MP (actually a part of XHTML, but extremely powerful and flexible in our mobile world) is the <object> element. Still, it is not used very often. So, I thought I would do some promotion!

The worst practices of the mobile web, part II- A few months ago, I blogged about the worst mistakes I saw on mobile sites. Since this time I have visited and analysed plenty more mobile sites (so that my search crawler can process them better), and I have a few more offenders whose practices can make mobile browsing a nightmare...

- Open Sesame
- There’s lots of chatter about ‘openness’ in the mobile space recently. If you’re listening to the media, you’re hearing it both on the handset and the network side. We’ve got the 700MHz spectrum auction that’s just wrapped up in which Google so cleverly forced the ‘openness’ provision to kick in. Verizon, the largest operator in the US (and the big winner in the C block that’s now required to be ‘open’), making statements that they’re going to allow ‘any device’ on their network.

- Welcome to my Soap Box...
- Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I’m very pleased to be here on the mobiForge blog after taking a short break from having a platform from which to speak about mobile web issues, concerns and answers for developers. After having spent over 8 years behind the helm of the developer program at Openwave (a.k.a Phone.com a.k.a. Unwired Planet), I find my self engaging in new challenges.

Blogger mobile- Do you use Blogger? Need a mobile template? We recently had a request in our forums for a mobile template for Blogger, and a few searches later ('blogger mobile template' etc.) and I knew how to post to a Blogger blog from my phone, but not how to make it accessible to mobile users...Blogger uses a template system which allows users to create and customise their own templates.
