Tomorrow my company Blue Flavor is officially launching our first product called Leaflets.
Leaflets are small, mobile web-based applications you access from Safari on your iPhone. We designed them to not only look great, but to run fast over AT&T's EDGE network.

Nice. Any chance they might work on Opera Mobile (not mini) or Nokia's S60 browser? How about NetFront? It just seems a little near-sighted to only support one...
Hear hear! I agree with Bryan, although I can not check the demo (I have no Safari, am running Windows XP (and Safari does not work on my box)). Maybe there...
Brian, As per Miha's comment - are there things that Safari can handle that other mobile browsers can't? I'd be very interested to hear anything in this regard...
The big advantage to Safari on the iPhone is CSS3 support, which allows developers to do a lot with the design with relatively little markup, keeping the...
Brian, I've heard this fact about Javascript and battery life stated several times. However, in speaking with a few hardware engineers and mobile browser devs...
... The way i understand it, Ajax is not simply about Javascript, but more about continuously opening HTTP requests and hitting the network (i.e.sending and...
So, it's not Javascript that is the culprit in regards to battery life - but rather the radio/network connection (hardware) used in an Ajax call? That would...
Since it's network activity that drains the most power, that would imply AJAX done right can save battery rather than drain it? AJAX gives us the ability to...
If it worked that way it would - but currently the browser itself actually manages the connection with the hardware - ie: the prompt "Would you like to connect...
I will totally defer to the device guys on this. At Mobile 2.0, "Javascript" was a huge topic of concern, which I actually hadn't heard prior to the event. But...
Since this is a pretty well known obstacle it wouldn't surprise me if this issue isn't extinct in the next year, but I haven't heard of many devices that claim...
Let's be real clear about this AJAX != Javascript. If you start making a ton of browser connections to a server using AJAX you are going put some load on...
... thanks. Last time I checked a few months back there was no such thing as Safari for Windows. A dead sourceforge project was all I found at the time.... ...
Luca, was that actually meant to be a question? Yes, I am well aware of how fragmented the mobile space is (browsers included), but I fail to see how building...
OK Bryan, this sounds like a better message than the one before. I hope my reaction did not sound too harsh. I have no particular connection to BlueFavor, but...
Hey Luca, I'm mainly questioning the whole idea of developing for one device/browser/network - especially from Brian who has posted such wonderful thoughts as...
... The web seems a recurring obsession with many mobil developers. Why isn't this the web? why does this need to be different than the web? let's assume this...
... Huh? ... Yeah - we've all got our opinions on this matter and if I ask 100 different people I'll get 100 different answers. Luca - your opinion is noted. ...
Bryan, I'm going to write up an article this week that gets a lot more specific about why we chose to start with the iPhone. I had to admit like as Luca...
Bryan, Yes, our intent is to support more browsers not just Safari on the iPhone. The problem isn't web standards rather the how mobile browsers render them...
brian, i would love to see the demo, but telling prospective customers to use another browser is - well - a bit overbearing ("This demo requires Safari 3.0 or...
Safari on the iPhone is the same engine as Safari 2.0.4 running on Tiger (the one *I* am running), it would be nice to have the demo running on it, at least. ...
