Nice web app. He&#8217;s been trying to make a mobile version of Backpack. <\/p>\n<p>Why is that different?<\/p>\n<p>He can&#8217;t release it publicly yet, but he will soon.<\/p>\n<p>PC + mobile: home + away<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re far more useful together than seperate<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s useful?\n10 x easier\n10 x cheaper\n10 x a day<\/p>\n<p>Mind like water (GTD) mobile is excellent for this, you can action them<\/p>\n<p>Mobile is social<\/p>\n<p>Timekilling? Competition: books, iPods, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Social is more interesting, you want to take those elements from web apps to mobile<\/p>\n<p>Internet is push + pull<\/p>\n<p>Demo time!<\/p>\n<p>Mobile web browser: access to all kinds of phone stuff. <\/p>\n<p>He loves it, he wants to see people build stuff with it.<\/p>\n<p>Out of sight message: because he wanted a domain he&#8217;s going through a proxy.<\/p>\n<p>Not being online all the time is interesting from a presence point of view.<\/p>\n<p>no need for separate mobile sites<\/p>\n<p>basic accessibility and web standards still rule<\/p>\n<p>lots of websites are assuming users have lots of bandwidth &#8211;  that&#8217;s bad on both the web and mobile<\/p>\n<p>data is very important (useful data)<\/p>\n<p>APIs are great, XML is great, as long as they work<\/p>\n<p>we&#8217;re not special: Google tries to be helpful by forcing you into the mobile version<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t repurpose content for mobile. <\/p>\n<p>People are people&#8230; they&#8217;re the same. They have the same needs. Make sure they have access.<\/p>\n<p>Create mobile sites. Aim at the 2b, not the 1b. <\/p>\n<p>Mobile is going to be the main way to access the internet in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Voice is interesting as well. <\/p>\n<p>Q One thing you mentioned is flat rates. We can&#8217;t solve it as devs. Any ideas to force carriers to do it?\nA Carriers aren&#8217;t as uncanny as you think. They realize that money can be made from flat rate. <\/p>\n<p>Sites can be built for mobile using web standards easily. That&#8217;s key.<\/p>\n<p>Q What do you need for the mobile Backpack?\nA The series 60 phones running Python.
