The link will be like, where XXXX is the author ID. See the by Author link under each application. The app authors have a page here with a summary of their apps. The format is, where XXXXX is the application ID. Again same process: search for the application and copy the link location of the application icon. BlackBerry App Worldįor all those BlackBerry fans, there is BlackBerry App World. Here publishers don’t have a personal page. The link will look like, where xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx is the application ID, clearly resembling a GUID. Same steps to find out the application link: search it, copy the link location and strip the last part. We cannot exclude Microsoft from the list with their Windows Phone Marketplace. The link is found on any of the publisher’s application (see by Publisher Name) and it will look like Windows Marketplace You can also include a link to a publisher’s page containing a summary of their application. Just remove the last part and include into your page, where XXXXX is the application Id. If you want to include a link to an application, search for it and then copy the link that it will look like. Nokia created a new fresh application repository for their latest phone – Ovi Store. The query can include keywords or can identify a specific application using q=pname: and then the link will be market://search?q=pname. As you include links to iTunes, you can include links to applications in Android Market. Nexus One was just released and in my opinion will beat iPhone. These links will both work on the desktop and iPhone.Įxample: Fluid application (free) Android marketĪndroid is gaining market share as we speak. You will get a list of items and when you click one you will get the link. Just specify the country, the search keyowrds and what type of iTunes items. Apple provided for your convenience a web interface to create such links: ITMS Link Maker. You can include links to items in the iTunes store, such as movies, music or application. When developing a website iPhone is definitely to be considered. On some (mobile) browsers (devices) it is also reported to work smsto: and mmsto:, although I would recommend the first version. There is also an URI version for MMS starting with mms. Detailed information you can find in the URI Scheme for GSM Short Message Service (draft) Examples sms:12345678 SMS to 12345678 sms:12345678?body=Hello my friend SMS “Hello my friend” to 12345678 sms:123456789,+123456789?body=Hello SMS to multiple phone numbers, including an international one The phone numbers are specified as in the call links. The link contains a comma separated list of phone numbers and an optional message body. Examples callto:12345678 call 12345678 on iPhone and Nokia wtai://wp/mc 12345678 call 12345678 on Android wtai://wp/mc +123456789 call an international number on Android tel:12345678 call 12345678 on most of the newer devices tel:12345678,100200# join 100200 conference code on the conference line 12345678 on most of the newer devices tel:+12345678,100200# join 100200 conference code on the international conference line +12345678 on most of the newer devices SMSįrom a web page you can open the SMS sending application on the user phone with a link like below: I tested this on Android and iOS and it works fine, but you usually need two pauses (,) between the phone number and conference code. To do this from a link you will need a pause after the phone number and this is done with, (comma), usually entered by a long press on star(*). There you call a phone number and then you enter your conference code, usually followed by hash(#). Another interesting phone link will be how to call a teleconferencing phone number. So maybe it’s a good idea to have this on the classic/desktop website too. What’s also interesting to know is that this can even work on a desktop if you have an application like Skype installed. In the phone number you can use +(plus) sign for international numbers. If you want to have only one type of URI, use this one. You can easily find how to create such a link consulting the WURFL database and looking at the wml_make_phone_call_string property in the wml_ui category.īasically this is done as follows: callto: mainly appropriate for iPhone and Nokia phones wtai://wp/mc mainly appropriate for Android phones tel: reported to work on most of the newest devices. But here the things are a little bit more complicated, requiring different links for different phones. Such a link will initiate a call on your mobile to a specified number. This is something cool and with the explosion of smart phones with which you can easily browse this is definitely to consider having on the mobile version of your website. Everyone knows to include a link into a page, but what I want to discuss today is how you can include some special links.
