GoogleAppEngine and Mobile Phones
20 Apr 2008 at 8:19pmGoogleAppEngine makes it easy to create CGI style webapps that can use many of Google's tools and api's. These webapps can be formatted for cellphone web browsers as a cross platform cell phone application. Combined with Google Gears for offline use, this is an interesting option for cell phone apps.
