I have been contemplating
purchasing one. I have always
thought that the iPad was
missing a key feature: the
camera. However, I had not

Designing in the browser isn’t really a new concept, just a relatively unused one. It’s been championed by a few prolific personalities in the web design community, but we at Worthwhile haven’t had the opportunity to give it a try until just recently when designing for a mobile-optimized site we’re working on. If you aren’t familiar with the concept, this is a good place to start.

So there are Apple and Google. Apple makes iPhone; Google makes Android. Oh yeah, I know about Blackberry; it’s ancient. (Did someone say Windows Phone? Didn’t think so.)
