[cfaussie] Delivering Mobile Content
Hi, I've currently getting some requests from people too high up to ignore to start delivering some of our web content for mobile devices. To be quite honest I am not sure where to start looking with this. Does anyone on here have any recommendations? Most of the stuff would be news and sporting fixtures / results, and possibly some video content. There is one also interactive web application (currently written in Java Struts) that would be a candidate for mobile users as well. I guess initially the grey area for me is - do you develop HTML content targeted at mobile users, or do you look at apps for specific platforms (Android, iPhone, etc...). The 2nd option just sounds extremely unappealing unless I'm missing something... I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's prior experiences with this? Andrew. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: Delivering Mobile Content
clean, simple standards-compliant HTML will take you a long way to having it rendered correctly on a mobile device. I wouldn't go so far as to specifically target Android, iPhone simply because you'd be writing so many (and the skills in getting there...) unless you had a targeted audience you're chasing (I ain't got neither of 'em) depends on the app. On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 2:45 PM, Andrewam2...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I've currently getting some requests from people too high up to ignore to start delivering some of our web content for mobile devices.

I guess it depends on whether they want: a) A mobile application b) A website that is accessible from a mobile device. Those are two different things, with different requirements.

[cfaussie] Re: Delivering Mobile Content
Thanks Guys. Mark I think you have hit the nail on the head. I am not sure they even know there is a difference, which is why I am also extremely vague about what I need to deliver. I guess I need to put together a report outlining what each entails and put it back to the board.

typical. Pointy-haired types half-hearing of some new technology and saying I'll have a bit of that without working out what they really want to do. perhaps another case of a solution looking for a problem to solve?

[cfaussie] Re: Delivering Mobile Content
In my view, a clear case of needing to 'manage upward'. I suggest you convene a meeting with those who're agitating for this and manage them through a process of getting them to be clear about the high-level objectives, and then give them a sense of the opportunities and constraints and the need for research and careful decision-making on the tech front. If you don't feel you have the pull to get them into a room, get someone upstream from you be champion and do the convening and engagement. Try to get it the status of a real project, get a serious sponsor, and get them to take responsibility for the project's impact. Yes, this can all fail, but if they get bound up and won't make the appropriate business decisions, then the heat's off you. On the other hand, it might get legs and become something real and manageable, instead of being a liability laid at your feet.
