MMS with AT & T Platform SDK
Finally figured this out and thought I’d blog about it. You’re setting up a short-code listening MMS app. Keep in mind: – The receiving (server) script should handle $_POST to the address – Setup that script in the developer portal’s app page – I included a lot of server logging (manually) in the script –…

Facebook Mobile App in 20, no 7, Minutes
I’m speaking at the AT & T HTML5 Hackathon tonight, and here are my slides, and basically my entire presentation.
