Distributing an iPhone app for testing (Ad Hoc Distribution) can be a bit of a pain, but there is one tip that I have found makes the process much better, and that is creating .ipa files.

I gave a presentation to my local ColdFusion users group in December on Building Mobile Apps for iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and Android devices using jQuery Mobile, and PhoneGap.

If you are building mobile web applications using things like PhoneGap, or jQuery Mobile you will want to take a look at some of the new values for the type attribute in the input tag that are offered by HTML5.

Yesterday I had a chance to get my feet wet with the Alpha 1 release of jQuery Mobile for one of my clients. Prior to yesterday I had been working with jqTouch for mobile UI.

I was curious if anyone was using an iPhone to read my blog yet, I'm sure before too long we will all be optimizing our sites for 3.5" displays. To find out I did a little grep on my Apache log file and piped it to wc to count the number of matches:

fgrep 'iPhone;' access.
