| Lecture 24 - Building the Danger Hiptop: a New Mobile Internet Platform |
Lecture by Joe Britt. When mobile phones became within the financial grasp of the everyman, the value was easily understood. Telephone-accessible "content" could now be enjoyed from a car, while waiting in line, or from a table at a restaurant. In this talk, Joe discusses several key aspects of the platform's development and shares the design philosophy applied by the team. Strong belief in the importance of hardware/software integration and an organic, iterative design process were critical for success. Lessons learned at companies like Apple, General Magic, and WebTV provided the team with a context for partitioning a complex problem across hardware, software, and a powerful back-end service.
