Integrating with
iPhone Services
One of the most intriguing ideas when creating a Web 2.0 application for iPhone is integrating the
application with core mobile services, such as dialing phone numbers or sending e-mails. After all,
once you break those inside the browser barriers, the application becomes more than just a Web
app and extends its functionality across the mobile device.
However, iPhone service integration is a mixed bag; it??™s a ???good news, bad news??? situation.
On the upside, perhaps the three most important mobile functions (Phone, Mail, and Google
Maps) are accessible to the developer. On the downside, there are no means of tapping into
other core services, such as SMS messaging, Calendar, Address Book, Camera, Clock, iPod,
and Settings.
