There has been a fair amount of press concerning the new HTML5 standard and how it may impact video playback and rich web content as an alternative to Flash. HTML5 is supposed to be more efficient than Flash in terms of processing load. The testing is inconclusive but one area where HTML5 seems to be more embraced is with the iPhone.
One reason could be that using the least amount of processing power for a given application is very important. While the iPhone packs a lot of smarts into a small package, it certainly can’t compete with the processing power and graphics processing found in a full sized PC or Mac.
A clear indication of the iPhone’s move towards more HTML5 is demonstrated in the new YouTube app for iPhone. The new application allows iPhone users to browse and search for videos, access details of their account, and stream video playback without the Flash plugin.
Other video providers including CBS networks are reported to be developing players based on HTML5 for their streaming content.
So for these and other developers of iPhone apps, they have begun writing them for HTML5. Some of the acknowledged advantages of Flash such as better fonts, a game engine, and other high end graphics are not nearly so critical for the small screen in the iPhone.
And the efficiencies and flexibility they can achieve with HTML5 more than make up for some of these advantages found in Flash. And support for HTML5 versus Flash in the iPhone is strongly by Steve Jobs who felt that the slow and buggy flash plugin to the iPhone was due to “lazy” developers at Adobe.
It has also been reported that the use of Flash in iPhone applications would significantly impact battery life from 10 hours down to about 1.5 hours. If this is true, it is obviously a significant detriment to using Flash in a mobile device like the iPhone. Jobs is a very strong proponent for HTML5 and indicates it is absolutely the way to go for iPhone apps.
In defense, Adobe has stated that their upcoming Flash player version 10.1 will show great improvement on mobile applications and that they are also working on its performance with Mac OS X.
So while the debate ranges on whether Flash is superior to HTML5 or vice versa, development of iPhone apps for HTML5 are well established and continuing to grow strong.

If you want to grow your business, then it is time to take mobile marketing into consideration. You will need to have a firm grasp of network marketing in order to take your business to the next level and effectively understand this type of marketing.
SMS is one of the most commonly used campaigns of this nature. SMS stands for short messaging service. Any mobile device is going to be able to view SMS and Text Messages. If you have your clients’ phone numbers, this can be an excellent marketing tool for your business. You will be able to send updates about promotions and other business related information straight to their mobile phone.
If you want to take it a step farther, you can go with MMS. This stands for Multimedia Message Service. With this type of message you will be able to include media, such as photos. These messages are a bit more complex, and while not all mobile devices can receive them, most will be able to.
More and more people are getting SMART phones these days. People are able to get instant updates about your company through mobile web applications, and they will not only be able to get the information faster but they will also be able to avoid text messaging fees. Another form of technology that is becoming quite common is Bluetooth. This is not just limited to the headsets. This technology can be used from roughly 33 feet in distance. Even though this may seem like a relatively short range, it can still be used for marketing within a close proximity.
There is another type of technology that is much like Bluetooth. It’s called Location-Based mobile marketing. It isn’t as commonly used as some of the other methods, but in the future it may become much more common. This is a type of marketing that delivers media straight to someone’s mobile device based on where they are located through GPS technology. Obviously, it seems as though you are going to need to get the user’s permission to use this form of marketing. Although it has not risen to total popularity yet, in the future this is likely going to be a popular method.
Some other methods have started to catch up in popularity as well. Quick response codes (QR) are barcodes that are two dimensional, and they seem to be getting more popular. Mobile banner ads are always a common variety. All of these methods play a part in Mobile Commerce, and businesses that are taking part in this type of advertising are finding a great deal of success.
You can automate your phone calls with Interactive Voice Response, or IVR. You can even organize a list through your computer to use voice broadcasting and call pre-programmed numbers. You can send messages to your customers that you have previously recorded in order to let them know their order status or update them on promotions and such. Mobile marketing is the future of marketing for both small and large businesses, and you will find that your business can have great success using any of these methods

iPhone Microsites

    The release of Apple’s iphone revolutionized mobile phone technology and web browsing with its ease of use. One of the most talked-about features of the iphone has been its ability to use Safari to browse the “real” Internet. However, until recently, this appealing idea has proven to be less than rewarding insofar as the larger pixel configuration used by most websites designed to display information on a full screen did not translate well to the iphone’s different shape and size. Because of that, the iphone’s ability to see and access data and pictures on most websites was plagued by problems and content which was hard to read and interact with until now.

Enter the iPhone Microsite

     We’re beginning to see the arrival of websites formatted specifically to fit the iphone’s small screen and unique configuration. In addition, we’re seeing techniques developed that make iphone compatible websites capable of visually displaying and selling products, over secure satellite connections, and accessed by mobile phones from anywhere in the world. 
    This phenomenal event opens up vast new, previously untapped, worldwide markets to every company (big or small) seeking to increase their market share and to every individual who has a product to sell - a marketer’s dream. Overseas demand for US goods is known to be high because of differences in foreign exchange rates. The unique websites that make this all possible are called iphone microsites.

Usability

 
     Some of the many features which make mobile browsing so advantageous for iphone users also present new usability concerns of which regular website owners and developers should be aware.

    Unlike traditional websites, an iphone microsite is properly formatted to display on iphone and ipod touch. It is capable of faster browsing due to optimized content, enhanced link highlighting to assist in navigation, and graphics and buttons that work seamlessly with the iphone’s finger browsing. It looks, behaves and responds in the same manner as a typical iphone application.

    A microsite enables horizontal scrolling by limiting columns to a width of 320 pixels when held upright (or 480 pixels when held sideways), a standard practice for iphone applications. It typically uses larger fonts to minimize unnecessary zooming and it breaks content up into more appropriately sized blocks.

Accessibility

    A microsite may compliment a regular website by automatically detecting and reacting to iphone visitors, allowing a business owner to serve them optimized content. It can also stand alone, being identified with a unique url separate from the one used for your main Web site, and often denoted by adding an iphone prefix (iphone.yoursite.com).

    We at Levonsys have been successfully providing unmatched outsourcing solutions in several mobile enterprise applications and consumer applications for iphone users.

Mobile Website Optimization

    Optimize your mobile website to boost your sales. When we refer to optimization the first thing that comes to our mind is SEO. We know and understand that this will help us improve traffic. But, we many times ignore mobile media. That a large number of people use mobile phones for internet and are many times frustrated when unable to find a site they want to go through or when the site looks blur on mobile browser. One should always keep in mind that search engines work not the same for mobile phones. However what can be effective is good short content like a sales line.

    Mobile media refers to a vast area of non-voice or SMS activities of mobile. It mainly covers four categories like downloading, entertainment, non voice/SMS communication and informational. Mobile phones with their user friendly internet applications are becoming popular among the people. A large increase in the number of mobile internet users has been noticed. 

    More and more people have started using the internet on their mobile phones rather than home or office computers. More than 550 million people use mobile phones in the US, it proves that mobile internet users should not be ignored while making and optimizing a website. Mobile websites should be visibility centered rather than content or information.  Mediums providing with instant value like ring tones, screen savers, free game or discounts in coupon forms for a product or service should be emphasized on. Quality formatting as well as clear site appearance on the various mobile browsers is equally important.

     Here are a few tips for getting your mobile set up to speed, both for visitors as well as search engines:

• Audience Need - Determine why your visitors are visiting your site and prioritize your site relevant to your user's needs.
• Simplify - Keep your mobile site simple; computer users can afford both the bandwidth and the system processing required for the latest whiz-bang technologies, mobile users cannot.
• Images Optional - Again, mobile use means less bandwidth, so don't keep your visitors waiting for pages to load by using large or excessive images.
• Sub-Domains - Your visitors are used to your brand; mobile.yoursite.com is still better than yoursite.mobi, so keep it that way.
• Testing - Your users should not be your website testing crew; test your site with mobile devices and emulators, and when you're done, test again.
