(keitai-l) Secrets of the Wireless Developers Elite

HI Keital,

I would like to feature you in my column "Secrets of the Wireless Developers Elite"
Below is a link to the series at IBM.

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-elite18.html

I would like you to dig deep into technical detail to talk about real development secrets and tricks. 
Real examples of applications that you were developing in which you chose one development path 
over another or overcome some technical hurdle would be great. I also need a new sidebar of code. 

Below are the questions to be answered.

I look forward to this...this should be a very good story. Please don’t be afraid to be too verbose. The story should be over 1,500 words.


Thanks,

john
