[Year 12 SofDev] Mobile phone computing

[Mark Kelly]

Programming for mobile devices.

 From APC mag, August 2008, page 13...

"One game manufacturer at a Nokia event a couple of years ag0 told APC 
that for every game they create, 624 different versions had to be made 
to work on all the popular handset screen sizes, operating system and 
CPU combinations.  No wonder the games sell at outrageous prices."

It goes on to discuss how Apple can change all that by defining both the 
hardware and OS.  Also Google's Android might be a way to make 
programming on portable devices easier.

A good read!
