After reading a few articles about AJAX for mobile phones , i was tempted to find the ground level situation in india.
Nowadays most mobile phones are Data capable.
Smartphones are being accecpted by public at a very rapid rate here. Nokia 6600 ,3230 and 6630 are the biggest hits in India. (forgive me mobile makers other than nokia – u ppl dont make affordable smart phones or don’t market them properly 😛 )
Javascript support in phones browsers are also good in these phones.
Thats not a big problem. Opera mobile browser is awesome . They have even launched a SDK for ajax mobile development here
But a big question – Are data services good enough to handle AJAX mobile services like flickr for example ?
Can the network latency or deficiency be handled/ tackled ?
These questions seem unanswered.
