iPhoning Around

Like a lot of people, I hopped on the iPhone train as soon as it pulled into the station. I admit, it wasn’t cheap, but I couldn’t be happier with my new phone.

In fact, though I really didn’t intend to buy the phone for business purposes, it’s helped me out considerably with several of my clients. I’ve been helping them optimize their websites for use with the iPhone. While the phone does handle just about any website with aplomb, there are lots of tweaks you can make so the iPhone-user’s experience is even better.

I’ve also helped a couple of clients develop iPhone-only versions of their site. I don’t like the idea of separate sites for different browsers (it’s taken long enough to stop that behavior with IE-only sites…), but with modern, template-based websites, doing this isn’t too hard. Plus, with so many iPhones coming on board (Apple is hoping to sell 10 million next year alone), having iPhone-only versions of a website actually has some merit.

I’ll have more to say on the iPhone later, but suffice it to say, I couldn’t be happier with my new little gadget.
