    Hi Folks,

    I would like to get one or more conversations going and basically me
    learning from the rest of the world how the Mobile and "Smart Phone"
    and lets face it the iPhone and Droid "Small PC" world will work with
    Wildcat!

    Its no longer just about HTML but also doing NATIVE APPLICATIONS
    ("APPS") for the devices, just like Wildcat! did it long ago with
    Wildcat Navigator which provided a client platform to put "Apps" A.K.A
    ICONS in a toolbars to install any kind of application on the user's
    PC, including GAME likes wcCASINO.

    So basically I want to get a feel how people are using their "Smart
    Phones" including how they are using it with Wildcat!, perhaps for
    EMAIL (SMTP/POP3).

    What are also so of your wish items for Wildcat! along the small
    device era.

    Attach is an image of where Wildcat! is, was and some of the ideas we
    had for PC, Mobile, Small Device Market that is constantly changing.

    I'm still out here. My johnkidwell.com seems to display on an IPhone. But
    I have removed all of my telephone landlines and went strictly mobile for telephones. My IP's carry the website and cannot be reached by telephone,
    so I don't get calls on the Navigator.

    I am interested in learning the language that mobile phone aps are written in.

    You have replied to what is now a somewhat old and inactive thread. If you want to chat with hector it maybe best to start a new conversation in:

    Conference #121 - wcListServe WIN Server

    Addressing your points/questions:

    I am interested in learning the language that mobile phone aps are
    written in.

    The wikipedia article referenced below provides a concise summary of the
    most common development environments.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_application_development

    My IP's carry the website and cannot be reached by telephone, so I don't
    get calls on the Navigator.

    This is now the situation for most sysops. However as wcNavigator runs
    well via TCP/IP and many sysops still have customers connecting over the Internet using Navigator for either general BBS access and/or to play the wcCasino games.

    Another question is: can a mobile application be written in WCBasic?

    You can use wcBASIC/WCT to aid in the creation of a Mobile Friendly
    website, but not as a development language on a Mobile device OS.


    Mike
