iPhone Development
With the immensely popular Apple iPhone, the era of the internet connected smartphone has come into its own. Apple reported that in just the first five months of its iPhone App Store, 300 million applications had been downloaded, making the iPhone the most popular platform for mobile application development.
The iPhone’s large screen size, high bandwidth 3G and WiFi connectivity, built in GPS and graceful aesthetics make it a compelling platform for building mobile applications. The iPhone OS offers strong application development support, including advanced animation effects.
iPhone applications may be considered to be of three types:
- Any web application that can be accessed using iPhone’s Safari browser.
- Web applications optimized for the iPhone interface, and which may use specialized features of the iPhone, such as some of the phone features.
- Custom applications for the iPhone client that take full advantage of the features offered by the iPhone platform. For example, games built for iPhone can take full advantage of the device’s animation and display capabilities. Travel applications can take advantage of the built in GPS and synchronization to store data when the device is offline.
