This means that we can use our web skills to make applications for mobile phones. Previously, we would have to invest learning time into a closed-path system like the iPhone's Objective-C, or a minor player's API like webOS.

Called BONDI, it's basically a webpage with some extra generic DOM handles for using system features like fetching contact lists, GPS, sending SMSs, playing a sound, etc.

While I am not blown away by the demo widgets linked below, i realize they are little more than "hello world", as much actually as figuratively. I expect support and development to entrench around this simple standard, so more and more hardware features will gradually start working on more and more devices. It's the same notion as the JS/HTML software i wrote years ago for firefox that now works in IE8...

I encourage all to participate in developing for open source platforms like BONDI. While there's more money right now in iPhone, the future belongs to us. Don't support proprietary techs! Besides, i cannot imagine that Apple/some fan boy will not eventually add BONDI support to iPhones; they already have a browser!
