RWW Live: Mobile Web Development
The latest episode of RWW Live, our live podcast show, kicks off at 3.30pm PST Monday (6.30pm EST). The topic is Mobile Web Development and we have guests from Google, Microsoft, Pandora and DevelopmentNow joining us. You can tune into the show, and interact with us via the chat, by clicking here. You can also use the Calliflower Facebook app to tune in and participate.
In this show we will cover the state of the mobile application development market, focusing on Android, Windows Mobile, iPhone, and more.
We have 4 special guests on the call:
- Loke Uei Tan, Tech Product Manager from Windows Mobile
- Tom Conrad, CTO of Pandora
- Ben Strackany from mobile development company DevelopmentNow.
Dan Morrill, Developer Advocate for Google Android(unable to join at last minute)
Note: we invited Apple to send a representative from the iPhone team, but received no response.
The show is hosted as always by Sean Ammirati, with Richard MacManus and Marshall Kirkpatrick from ReadWriteWeb on the call. We're also very pleased to have last100 editor Steve O'Hear back for this show, given that last100 covers the Mobile Web space widely and deeply.
Before the show starts, we're interested in what questions you have for the panelists. Please leave a comment on this post and one of the RWW crew on the call (Sean, Marshall, Steve and myself) will do our best to ask your question.
We will post the audio from the show at the end, but we hope you join us LIVE on Calliflower or Facebook.
UPDATE: the show is now finished, here is the audio:

I'll definitely tune in. It'll be good to get into more depth about mobile web development since think there's some confusion about what's possible, as well as questions around native apps vs web apps.
Some ideas for questions:
- Some tradeoffs between native vs web apps & why you'd do one versus the other.
- Some platform differences (windows mobile vs iphone vs android etc)
- What skills or tools are required for mobile web development
- What are the demographics for mobile web apps, and what are these users trying to accomplish?
I'm going to interrupt my multimedia club meeting this afternoon (begins at 3PST), to see if anyone else wants to watch and/or participate in your live podcast show. One of my goals this year is to show new students how important social media is to their education. I want them to see how easy, fun and informative interactive podcasts can be. I also want them to be aware of designing and programming for mobile applications and how important this has become. Besides, if it works out, I won't have to give such a long presentation today ;)
Doug, that would be great! Also feel free for you or your students to ask questions during the call. The Calliflower interface easily supports that.
