People, I came across the term Mobile Ajax again today after many months

confirmed my idea:
Not may have been talking about Mobile Ajax after that, and even fewer
have done something in practice with it. Another victim of device
fragmentation? can anyone point to some cool uses of mobile ajax in
deployed applications? what about the iPhone? anyone who tried hard and
decided that the traditional way was still better? experiences to share
with us?
