the onda

I am happy to see Joe Hewitt writing positively about the hardware improvements in the new iPhone because this is a guy that has been there since the very beginning. His iUI framework make stuff happen on the webapp-only iPhone and his subsequent Facebook native app taught us that we didn't have to settle for UITextField as the only way to enter text on our devices.

So when he says that the "S" should stand for "smooth" I feel like we ought to chalk one up for the Internet— as we've come to know it and love it with all of its AJAX goodness— as it gets ready to come to our mobile devices. The future is not, as Tomi Ahonen likes to write, one of the "legacy Internet" and the "mobile Internet," but one where the same experience you get on your laptop gets translated into a truly mobile one thanks to Moore's law and the magic of the free market working its way through the smartphone battle of the 2000s.

Amen to that!
