Hi, I'm currently creating a mobile site for a large media company and would like to allow users to 'personalise' content without having to log in. On return,...
Hello Silka, In general you can use cookies. Support is much better for them now then it used to be. Note that cookies can be stripped at the carrier's...
My personal opinion is that cookie support is much better than ever before, but still not at the level where a commercial service can utilise them for...
I have to agree. Cookie support is far better, but it's still not ready to the point where we can forget about other methods. The absolute best method in my...

We were analyzing the interface of cellphone based app when we came up with the question "When should the option/action be on the softkey and when should it be...
Do you mean softkeys as they used to be in WML? If so, those are not available in XHTML and XHTML-MP so unless you are targeting specifically WML users I would...
I agree with Andrea, but maybe a standard needs development. This is a good group to start with something like that. Any takers? -J Chief Technologist ...

What is a server side cookie? That doesn't make sense to me.... a browser cookie is used to uniquely identify the client so that the server can match it to...
I did a little of my own investigation and found out... Openwave gateways (80% of world market) do save a user's state, but it's not using a cookie. It uses...
Server side cookies allow the storing of a value on the server rather than the client. Identifying unique users is less challenging than it seems. -J Chief...

Celltop Usability Worse Than WAP July, 2007: New York City: Usable Products Company's recently-completed report, "Celltop Usability," found that Celltop was ...
For some reason, the results of this report fail to surprise me. WAP (US Phone.com WAP in particular) may have been black and white, but it did have some great...
Tomorrow my company Blue Flavor is officially launching our first product called Leaflets. Leaflets are small, mobile web-based applications you access from ...
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, 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...
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...
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...
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...
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. ...
... 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. ...
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...
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...
Timo, We had two issues here. First, since everything is designed with CSS3, we had to restrict usage of the live demo to Safari 3, which currently is most...
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...
