Mobile group to establish security standards for mobile web

Until recently, the development of mobile-friendly websites has been regarded as nothing more than an irrelevant black art. That has since changed, thanks to more web-capable phones making their way into the mainstream (such as, of course, the iPhone). But the landslide of new and improved mobile sites has opened the doors to a sort of standard-free chaos, where almost anything (that works) goes and security is a second thought. The Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) group hopes to change that, however, by launching a new initiative that focuses on mobile development without sacrificing important principles like security.

Adobe Photoshop going mobile. Kind of.

adobe-photoshop-mobile.jpgAdobe has announced plans to take its Photoshop brand to mobile phones, albeit not with image-editing software along the lines of the popular PC/Mac application. Instead, it’s planning to launch Photoshop.com Mobile in beta, allowing people to upload their cameraphone snaps to Adobe’s Photoshop.com site. Besides uploading, the app will let them see thumbnails of the photos in their online gallery, as well as browsing albums created using Adobe’s Photoshop Elements software. However, the mobile app will initially lack more advanced features like tagging, titling and captioning. However, Adobe is missing a trick by only making the beta available for Windows Mobile handsets, starting in late September with Samsung Blackjack, Motorola Q and Palm Treo phones.

Web Browser Wars Go Mobile

alphadogg writes "A new generation of mobile Web browsers is finally making the Web a reality on handheld devices. The latest example is last week's beta launch of Opera Mobile 9.5, a native Web browser for high-end smartphones. It's an evolutionary release for the Norwegian software company, but it comes just days after Apple's iPhone 3G, with its highly capable Safari browser, went on sale. Other brand-new entrants, such as Mobile Firefox and Skyfire, are expected later this year, at least in beta form. But the evolving mobile browsers are only one part of the picture. Mobile browsing is affected by the client hardware, ranging from the processor to the kind of wireless network being used, all of which have improved markedly. It's also affected by the design of Web sites being targeted, and there's new attention being focused on optimiz

Sun delivers Java to Windows Mobile phone from HP

Sun is the company that created Java, so obviously getting wireless Java from Sun would mean that it would be better than getting it from some small company that has licensed it from Sun.
