In a recent Business Week article, writer Olga Kharif discussed the changes to the mobile phone industry that will take place because of the iPhone. Brian Fling of Fling Media clearly agrees with Kharif's premise. In a discussion with Phil and Scott, he talks about his recent Web 2.0 Expo presentation and how he believes the everyday mobile phone user will be impacted by the iPhone.
Brian Fling is a recognized leader in both the web and mobile communities. Over the past ten years he has worked with a variety of Fortune 500 companies to build cool websites, web applications and mobile sites. In 1999 Brian got his first job working for a mobile company and has been active in the community ever since. He is a frequent author and speaker on the issues on strategy, mobile design, the mobile web and mobile user experience.
In 2005 Brian co-founded the Seattle-based interactive agency Blue Flavor, where he worked for three years helping companies of all types and sizes. While at Blue Flavor he co-created a series of iPhone web applications called Leaflets to showcase the concepts of Mobile 2.0 just two weeks after the iPhone launched. Brian also co-authored the dotMobi Mobile Web Developers Guide, the first free publication to cover mobile web design and development from start to finish. He runs one of the largest online communities focused on mobile design.
