iPhone Application or iPhone Pages? (0) Add to My Brief

Benjamin Christie | 29/06/2009

Recently, a senior Optus executive came out and said that one of the mobile carrier’s recent areas of growth in the Australian market is due to sales of the iPhone. I am sure the other carriers in the Australian market have also seen a similar trend. So the question many of our clients are asking us at present is “Should we build an iPhone Application?” There isn’t an easy answer to the question, instead it may even be answered with a second question which is “Should we develop iPhone specific pages for our site?”

Below I have listed some common mistakes that I see.

Patrick Wong | 30/10/2008

In most cases you will spend a great deal of time testing various technical aspects of your site before it is available to the public.
