Developing for the iPhone with Netbiscuits

Netbiscuits provides one platform for all devices. The software service allows you to fully exploit the capabilities of high-end mobile devices like the iPhone, Nokia Series 60, BlackBerrys, Android phones and many others.

To realize next generation mobile website layouts, effects, and functionalities, the use of CSS, Scripting and AJAX is fully implemented with the Netbiscuits platform.

These features enable your mobile website e.g. for multi column layouts, sliding and fading effects and the interaction with native phone applications on the latest handsets. At the same time, Netbiscuits adapts your mobile website for virtually all basic and mid-range mobile devices worldwide. Consequently, with Netbiscuits wide reaching global mobile device coverage and next generation mobile Web 2.0 layouts are no contradiction for mobile developers anymore.
