(keitai-l) Re: Brew Browser

I think David's post are excellent and spot on correct.

After 15 months of work producing a chat/im client and a multiplayer
game for mobile devices I have the same beliefs.

Mobile applications have their own 'voice' and just cramming an existing
app ... game or productivity ... won't work.

I'm now working on stuff that meets a simple goal ... it's BETTER on the
phone than it would be on something else (Gameboy or even computer).

Too many things on the phones are ...

Just Like A Gameboy (or Computer) ... but Worse.

There's a lot about Mobile devices that make them ideal for applications
that really help people out.  More on this as the development of these
items proceeds.
