Frank Rose – Sky Dayton and the Next Wave of Mobile Phones
One of the great things about sites built from a database (like a WordPress site) is that the content can easily be displayed in different ways (with themes). It also makes it easy to deliver content to different types of devices including phones. If you can’t imagine reading this site on your phone, it’s because Americans are not leading the way in cell phone technology- read the article by Frank Rose (link above) that appeared in Wired magazine- and you will learn more of what the future holds.
This plug-in begs for more exploration- a theme creating and managing plug-in that requires no knowledge of PHP or CSS. Computers are supposed to make things easier- and shouldn’t require users to have to learn some arcane language like HTML to make them do what we want. This set of tools utilizing AJAX and Java might just be the trick.
In case you haven’t noticed- if I find something cool- and don’t have time to check it out fully- I just “Press-it” to this site- and come back and explore and add info to the post as it comes in. If you have some experience with Canvas- please add comments.
thanks!
