The introduction of the iPhone was marked by huge publicity and the scrambling of all sorts of web services to roll out support for the unique features of the iPhone. The breakthrough browser in the iPhone provides the best mobile browsing experience to date. Not only does it support the multi-touch interface, but the full AJAX support in the Safari based browser provides the ability to create a mobile experience way beyond WAP. The challenge is that the iPhone provided no API, toolkits, or developer tools. So how do you make your normal web or WAP based application suitable for the iPhone.

This session will explore the challenges in adapting to some of the compelling features of the iPhone including,

· Super high resolution screen

· Multi-touch interface o Slide and Pinch movements

· Automatic orientation detection

It will also explore some of the challenges in creating a mobile AJAX application. It’s not the same creating AJAX for a PC based application. There are more browsers, evolving standards on the handsets, carrier considerations, and no standardized application framework. You’ll learn that sometimes you’ll just have to hack. That is, until official APIs are rolled out…please. All these issues were discovered while creating our service SoonR. You’ll get to see examples of all these problems and how we addressed it as we created our iPhone offering.
