Re: iPhone/iPod Touch Scouting

In my opinion, trying to write specialized apps for various systems like iPhones, PDAs, etc. is overkill. Most likely what you write for one system will have to be re-written for another device. However, you could do a multi-platform solution would be by writing a web-based app, which only needs a browser to function. As long as the markup is simple, the functionality should remain the same across a wide number of platforms. Granted, there are probably some specialized functions of mobile devices that a web app doesn't cover (Does the iPhone allow file forms in the browser, for stuff like uploading pictures from the phone?), but the simplicity of a web-based app is nice. Just my $0.02.
