Create iPhone Applications Using ASP.NET AJAX
Thankfully, most existing Web applications will work reasonably well on the iPhone with no modification necessary. However, if you want to create a first class iPhone application, you should study the iPhone development tips detailed here.
What Is an iPhone Application?
When Apple’s first iPhone was originally released to the public, Steve Jobs announced that its development platform would be “Web 2.0.” The iPhone’s integrated Safari Web browser is clearly the most sophisticated Web browser ever built into a handheld device. This strength is multiplied by the iPhone’s always connected design (thanks to its Wi-Fi capabilities and AT&T’s ubiquitous EDGE network). When all this is added up, the sum equals powerful client-side Web application support (see Figure 1).
