Have you ever considered that the way you design and build a site or app might be completely wrong? Have you ever actually had to support the top devices on the market, let alone make each of them amazing? Have you ever designed or built a mobile app for devices that don't even exist yet? Do you know how to do all of this and still come in under budget?
These are just some of the questions that are being answered deep within the mobile community. It is unlike the web. It is opaque. It is competitive. It is an entirely different medium. And it is really really hard. In fact, there is a good chance that everything you think you know about mobile is wrong.
In this session by Brian Fling—author of O'Reilly's Mobile Design & Development (now available for free online at http://mobiledesign.org) and Creative Director at pinch/zoom (http://pinchzoom.com)—he discusses his experiences of spending a decade between web and mobile and shares what he thinks the web community can learn from mobile.

Feature phones present another challenge. Although these phones aren't perhaps a sexy as their later incarnations of Smartphones in the emerging markets of India, Pakistan these phones dominate usage and will not be going away any time soon. Consumers in this segment still have a thirst for knowledge, application and access to the internet on these devices. The challenge of 2000 plus different devices from a variety of manufactures compound the issues of design. By using a cloud based architecture to deliver internet services can be one way to address some of these challenges.
Its worth pointing out that we provide a fast 'cloud based' application platform for feature phones (and Android).
