Cross-device development
The
novel development of mobile applications with technologies that let you write
code once and run it on several devices of different phone vendors.
Baked-in "UI continuity" has the widest audience reach -- and thus the most value to the user.
Overall continuous UI tapestry = ecosystem
Media queries are part of the CSS3 specification. A media query allows targeting not only certain device classes, but to actually inspect the physical characteristics of the device rendering the site. For example, following the recent rise of mobile WebKit, media queries became a popular client-side technique for delivering a tailored style sheet to the iPhone, Android phones, and their ilk.

More companies create mobile optimized versions of their websites using media queries. 2011 is the year of responsive design.
The number of active users will be more important than the number of downloads.
Mobile-exclusive brands and content will have success
• Traditional publishers will launch new, mobile-only brands
• Vertical-focused content will be used to create greater user stickiness
• Mobile applications leverage new distribution channels and, as a result, new discovery options
Mobile applications and the mobile Web will get hitched and play nice together
• Operating systems creators are making it easier to launch applications leveraging Web technologies and skills
• Applications will heavily leverage mobile Web in applications as a means to scale utility and custom features cross-device
• The average user will not be able to tell the difference between a mobile Web site and mobile application eventually

max-device-width) is equal to or less than 480px.
If the test passes—in other words, if we’re viewing our work on a
small-screen device like the iPhone—then the device will load shetland.css. Otherwise, the link is ignored altogether.http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#media1
