iPhone Apps development is cool if the product or service you are selling or promoting is targeted exclusively at Apple users. But what if you want to reach the remaining 90% of the Mobile Web market, and standard web browser users as well?

The answer is mobile friendly web development, Miami Beach:

iPhone Apps, like all “native” apps, are software APPlications (computer programs) coded for a specific operating platform: In this case it’s the Apple iOS (formerly iPhone OS) mobile operating system that drives Apple hardware products like the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Apple TV. Here’s a notable quote:

“The genius factory that Steve Jobs built is just another oligopoly pushing planned obsolescence [e.g. practically non-replaceable batteries] on a buying public that should know better… There’s only so much market growth a premium electronic product can wring out of the industrialized West, and Apple’s marketers know it. They don’t waste time growing the nonexistent iPad market among African bushmen who live beyond the reach of a WiFi signal. Instead, they know the real money is made from selling tiny improvements to existing customers [a.k.a. Apple Zombies] who just have to show off the latest gizmo to friends.”

Among other questions this statement should raise in your mind is “If the cost of developing a ‘cool’ iPhone App includes locking my business and my customers into Apple’s built-in obsolescence cycles, then what is the benefit?”

The answer for most SMEs (small to medium-sized enterprises) is: NOT MUCH.

The content and functionality of Mobile Web Apps, W3C Mobile OK Minipages and Mobile Friendly Websites are freely accessible by not only Apple captives but the users of all native smartphone platforms that support cellphone browsers like Openwave, smartphone browsers like Opera Mobile and pretty much any smart phone, tablet, notebook, laptop or desktop computing device with web browsing capabilities. So why choose one or the other when you can have ALL for less? It’s your call to make:

iPhone App development? Or Mobile Web development?
