Hello, referring tip #10, I want the SMS to be sent to 2 or more numbers. Tycally concatenating numbers separated by comma or semicolon will do, but this doesn’t work for iPhones. Is this possible for iPhones? My tests have been successful for some mobiles with Symbian and Windows Mobile. Example <a href=“sms:12345678900;56265326414;513216544”>Send me a text</a>

Thanks

Good article!
But this article title is ambiguous. I think it must be “iPhone Webapp Development:,” not “iPhone Development:.”
Your article is talking about webapp ONLY.

But again, great article to start webapp dev.

yeah pretty much, could maybe dual boot or use a VM to run the Mac OS… or develop for google android instead :wink:

@sung - yep, the article is all about web development, nothing SDK-related.

@praetor - no luck for Windows. There are sites and services that claim to emulate iPhone. They often simply ask you to load the page with Safari and resize it to look like a small screen. But it’s not a real test, unfortunately.

Thank you for the great article!

Stoyan - I have a real itch to do iPhone development and until reading your article here I confess I’ve always thought a web app would pale in comparison to a “real” iPhone app. The latter is much more difficult to produce. Can anyone comment on whether iPhone users see a real difference, that is, if people tend to discredit browser-based apps vs apps - or do users really not perceive a difference? Thanks!
