Resumo:Mobile devices are, today, one of the engines that pull us to an even fast, growing, inter-connected global society. Communications are discovering their seventh way. The development community is adapting today's technologies to a more ubiquitous mobile environment. We urge to adapt our information, services and applications to mobile devices, and more speci cally, to, the development platform of the moment, Apple's iPhone. By trying just that, we've come up with two di erent approaches: Web Applications and Native Applications. These applications use sensor and contextawareness to select, de ne and distribute news content, to speed-up communications e ciently, and, to setup viewing optimizations on client-side. We've studied the concepts, paradigms, characteristics and di erences, in order to establish a mobile mindset in terms of design, e ectiveness, responsiveness, power and security.
