The ultra short version - I was very bullish on mobile web technologies to expand the mobile developer base, Jim saw mobile web tech as over-hyped and that existing platforms (SMS / MMS / J2ME / Symbian) will rule at the expense of web technologies. Proof that reasonable people can differ even on fundamental issues.</p> <p>As is always the case, the time allotted was very short - Jim, I hope we can continue the discussion another time!</p> <p>Jeff </p> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://community.eqo.com./blog/jeff/debating_the_future_of_mobile_platforms_at_mobilecamp_vancouver" dc:identifier="http://community.eqo.com./blog/jeff/debating_the_future_of_mobile_platforms_at_mobilecamp_vancouver" dc:title="Debating the future of mobile platforms at MobileCamp Vancouver" trackback:ping="http://community.eqo.com./trackback/1105" /> </rdf:RDF> --> http://community.eqo.com./blog/jeff/debating_the_future_of_mobile_platforms_at_mobilecamp_vancouver#comment eqo handimobility mobilecamp mobileplatforms quickmobile web20 webtech Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:05:06 -0800 jeff 1105 at http://community.eqo.com.
