Re: How many folks are developing apps for "smart phones"?

 That is all part of the mix.  Basically, you want an minimalist 
approach.  Minimize JS, jpg's, anything that isn't absolutely necessary 
to the look and feel of the app.  It requires you to look at the whole 
thing with different eyes.  These are powerful computing platforms, it 
is just that there is so much bloat on the web in general that you need 
to "think thin" when designing and programming.
