Awesome, now you can watch your Netflix Instant Queue on an iPhone or iPod touch. Pretty soon, many people won't need broadcast television at all.
Netflix launched an iPad app months ago that lets users stream movies and TV shows over WiFi or 3G connections. Now you can do the same on an iPhone or iPod touch.

Another viable option for mobile development is to use a framework like Titanium or Phonegap to quickly build out an app using Javascript. I've been looking at Titanium a lot lately and digging into its API. Seems like you can build anything short of a game using its API and there's a real buzz when you compile the same (or nearly the same) codebase to run on both Android and iPhone devices.
With this article, I'd like to share my experiences with both mobile web and software development to guide your future developments on the iPhone platform.

Refereeing a soccer game is not much different than regulating the financial industry. There are a lot of parallels in how you would want to set up both systems to be fair and efficient.
The first is that the regulator --- in this case, the referee --- is fallible. So the rules should make the regulator's job as easy as possible.Second, regulators can't detect every irregularity, so the emphasis has to be on getting the big stuff right. Finally, we want performance, not regulators, to determine the outcome. The best regulators are those we don't notice.
