Internet betting and prediction markets on the Apple iPhone and the Google Android

I watched the Apple event introducing the iPhone 3.0 —the new version of the operating system for the smart phone. (The competitor is the Google Android, caressed by the innocent mister Cowgill.)

We have now 2 different ecosystems for people to access betting online:

1. a personal computer (desktop or laptop) + a connection to the Internet (coupled sometimes with the phone system);
2. a personal hand-held computer + a connection to both the phone system and the Internet.

1. a personal computer is piloted by a mouse (or a trackpad) on a plane surface;
2. a personal hand-held computer is piloted by the fingers.

More and more, businesses (like Automattic/WordPress) are developing a special entry point on the Web for the iPhone and Android users. BetFair has already developed a sub-website for them. No doubt that the other prediction exchanges will follow course —since the 2 different ecosystems are here to stay.
