The launch of the iPhone (shortly followed by the iPod Touch) seemed to fuel developer's desires to create mobile-specific web applications despite the device's ability to access the entire internet (without the WAP/WML limitations of most mobile devices). Many mobile web users find the wireless application protocol (WAP) too restrictive and slow, greatly limiting what [...]

The most heated bitchmeme of the past few days appears to be the flap over one of the featured apps on Google App Engine, called HuddleChat. Since removed from the site, Daring Fireball was the first to note that it bore a striking resemblance to 37signals' Campfire. Google detractors, of course, sided with 37signals, and [...]

Nothing excites me more than hearing about semantic anything. I'm lazy. I have too many things to read already. And I am tired of trying to sift through tons of review sites where reviews are often incomplete, non-existant, or just plain irrelevant. I was thrilled to hear about Swotti, a new beta site that claims [...]

I followed liveblogs of the iPhone SDK announcement today (thanks to TUAW and Engadget) just for fun, to see if any new social platforms would emerge or special Web 2.0 news would come out. Was I the only one shocked with the closing of the media event? I should have known that Jobs had something [...]

Right from Google's initial launch of Android, I've been curious about what the overall plan was for the product. After all, Google sank an enormous amount of money into its development, and judging from the blogs of Java developers that I read, a pretty good amount of time as well.

Since the start of summer we’ve seen both the mainstream press and the blogosphere harp incessantly about Apple’s invention – its technological advantages, the seeming unrivaled grace with which it functions, or those specially-concocted websites and applications that have risen to public [...]

While it’s not at all fair that Apple’s iPhone (and the developments its release has spawned) are getting the overall bulk of the attention doled out to the smartie market these days, it’s certainly worth pointing out highlights that are piggybacking the multi-touch marvel’s success as they make their way into public view, if only [...]

I am not a cell phone guru, but if you don't have an iPhone (or even if you do) – Rocekshotz is a cool service that can help you approximate one for free. Rocketshotz sets up a user's favorite mobile sites and transfers them to their phone in an “iPhone-like start page”. The Atlanta company [...]

Today, Google Blogoscoped has announced that the mobile version of Google Docs is now available to users of the online office suite. Last month, it was discovered that there were mobile-designed pages available with a link leading to docs.google.com/m, but at the time the URL resulted in a 404 error. The Google Help Center has [...]
