 iPhone Developer Track at AJAXWorld Offers Unique Lineup
"It's likely that the speed of the iPhone's rise to competitive dominance in its segment is unprecedented in the history of the mobile-handset market," said a report by research group iSuppli yesterday, as it was revealed that Apple's iPhone outsold every other type of smartphone in the United States in July.  For a phone in its very first full month on sale, that is pretty good going. The online consumer survey by iSuppli involved 2 million participants in the United States. Not even RIM's best-selling BlackBerry could beat out the iPhone, nor the entire Palm range. Motorola, Nokia, Samsung - none of the giants could match the Cupertino, CA-based company's performance right out of the gate. iSuppli further predicted that Apple sales of iPhone may reach 4.5M by the end of the year.

Dojo on the iPhone - Dylan Schiemann
Apple's iPhone is the latest consumer electronics and technology sensation, sparking not only what should be significant worldwide demand, but also representing a potential new world to conquer for developers. How can developers leverage the Dojo Toolkit for this latest innovation from Cupertino?
Speaker Bio: Dylan Schiemann is CEO, SitePen, and co-creator of the Dojo Toolkit. It all started in 1999 when Dylan dropped out of the PhD program at UCLA and left the fascinating world of statistics of shear-induced rearrangements in a two-dimensional model foam and the accumulation of glucosaminyl(acyl)phosphatidylinositol in an S3 HeLa subline expressing normal dolicholphosphomannose synthase activity to refocus his efforts on the future of the Web. As CEO of SitePen and co-founder of the Dojo Toolkit, Dylan is best known for building Web applications that make use of JavaScript/AJAX, Dojo, and other standard Web development technologies. He has helped develop Web apps for companies including Renkoo, Informatica, Security FrameWorks, and Vizional Technologies.
