I just bumped across this interesting blog entry from Textually.org that summarizes the state of the Mobile Web. Basically, the issues boil down into two (2) main problems:

Usability. The Mobile Web is rudimentary when it comes to Web site quality and ease of navigation. This first issue attacks the usability aspect of the mobile web. […]

Last month, I featured a web-based operating system called YouOS. The strategy was basically to provide the same Operating System experience except it was moved into a web platform. The major issue with YouOS was that is cloned how current operating systems work. However, the current operating system desktop does not perform very nicely on […]

The important of being able to develop in foreign languages is definitely gaining grown. I have heard numerous times in the office about the importance of supporting other languages (over and above English of course). This does not refer to just any language but what we call the “double-byte” languages. These are languages that have […]

Now this is an interesting piece of technology. I feel that one of the major limitations of PDAs and PDA-Phones is the required presence of a tool called … the stylus. This just makes it too cumbersome to use. Having to cradle and uncradle the style every time you use the PDA or PDA-Phone is […]

I grabbed that latest Asterisk TCP/TLS support patch from […]

Third World market dynamics tend to be significantly different from those of First World countries. One primary difference is that there is not too much cash to move around. However, money can also be made with large numbers (volume). A large number of Third World countries also have large populations. I read this article posted […]

I did a quick hack to add ENUM resolution to GAIM. This is done when a user is being added into the system only. So after the user is added, the correct IM specific ID is used. Right now, I only support Yahoo Messenger translation. However, it should be trivial to add support for other […]

Here is my initial version of a stripped down enum resolver library in C. You can download it from here. This library is based on code from the ENUM and DNS components of the Asterisk Open Source PBX project.
What is ENUM? (Definition take from enum.org):
ENUM unifies traditional telephony and next-generation IP networks, and provides […]
