The Mobile Platform Development Webinar Series Continues!

The
Mobile Platform Development Webinar Series
 will continue with
Apple iOS on Wednesday at 2 p.m. EST. Before the session, we wanted to share some highlights from the first two sessions presented by Research in Motion(RIM)/Blackberry and Windows Phone.
The series was developed to
help government agencies learn how to deliver government content–information, data and services–anytime, anywhere and on any device. One way to deliver content to citizens is via applications on mobile devices or
native mobile apps.
