The Mobile Dollar: Dipping a toe into device JavaScript

10 July 2008

I’ve been working on a (very) small side project that targets mobile Web Browsers. Testing for the mobile platform, however, is ludicrous: someone I met a SXSW told me that their mobile application had over four-hundred different builds.

The attraction, however, hasn’t been just to the ability to fly around in a ship and blast pirates (as if that weren’t enough!).
