Because for the first time it starts to make sense to use a smart phone to access internet applications. Smart phones are becoming ever more powerful/capable. Web developers want to target these users now. Smart phones are more portable than laptops and they are designed to be used while moving about. Apple's iPhone brings the possibilities into greater focus, and it will only be improved (and get more competition). See why this will drive web apps into new stuff? Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- How much can you do with an interface limited by the physical size of a cell phone? Even if you were using voice recognition, you would need privacy (and probably a place to sit) why is this any different from laptops. And why would you say that smart phones are driving web-apps?
Using your phone as a data modem is cool and useful because wireless hot-spots are more limited (if faster). ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
