The book has been out a while. I did first read Mobile Web Design by Cameron Moll a while back via an pdf e-book version on a plane flight. The book is short to the point and very much suited to the electronic media format, with all the links activated when they are referenced, which you would expect.
First off this is not a book that you teach yourself how to code for the mobile web directly step by step. However it is a beginners guide to the mobile web as it stands today (circa 2007). This book is rather a reference guide on where to find the relevant information on mobile web development and the issues that you will face.
A few months back I reported that Three had restricted access through their network (3netaccess) to certain web sites that are normally available via other providers (like twitter). As expected I lodged a support call with this problem.
Well I’m happy to report that about three months later, Three have finally fixed the problem so now we should be getting unrestricted access on both the 3netaccess and 3services networks.
The one point of interest was the level of support service that Three offered. They phoned with an update to the support issue at least twice a week, keeping me updated with the progress each time.
There was the hype over the iphone. We have all hear or read about the iphone. I had the chance to play for a while with one at OZIA, thank you Stephen Collins. Okay it has a nice interface, it is very intuitive. It works well as the wifi based web browser platform or if you have a few video or music files that you want to play. As a phone, well it’s an out dated mobile using GSM EDGE technology, all very well and good in the US (the target market) not much good in the Australia.
