Despite all the emphasis on mobile applications, it isn't easy to make a compelling app that lets you connect with a broad audience. This Webinar will help mobile developers navigate the tricky and confusing wireless ecosystem:

  • How do you determine which operating system or platform to use?

  • How do you get traction with the various wireless carriers (and do you need to get their attention)?

  • Can you develop your application once and have it work across all carriers, all operating systems and all handsets?
