Discussions of potential future options that will level if not remove all differences and puts his bets down for the ultimate victor.

DOM Frameworks | Making yet another major shift, Brian goes into depth about DOM framework libraries. He provides a great discussion of why larger libraries that are geared for the desktop don't work well in the mobile ecosphere. He encourages you to avoid the "knee-jerk" reaction of reaching for your favorite desktop library because the mobile world has a lot better parity among browsers and far less browsers to worry about.Document Object Model (DOM)jQueryDojoYUIquerySelectorAlljQTouchDavid KanedaJonathan StarkSenchaSencha TouchJoJo DemosDavid BallmerjQuery MobileXUIZepto.js"Don't use a DOM framework, rather layer one in when you need it."QooxdooUnifyWink ToolkiEmbedJSuxebuSproutCoreEnyoLawnchairJSRipple EmulatorBackbone.jsEyeballs.jsRequire.jsCoffeeScript | 1/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Augmented Reality is Reality | Brian gives a quick tour of the newest and most exciting happenings in the mobile technology world. Starting with one of the most impressive demos of mobile augmented reality accomplished thus far by way of WordLens and moving into the new SVG based mobile Google Maps, truly the future is here.
