I think my problem with development articles on Smashing Magazine is that they most often tend to be "good advice" and a little thin on content.
While a lot of the information in that article is relevant/important from a foundational aspect, it only scratches the surface of mobile development.
Additionally - to barely mention mobile frameworks like jqTouch, jQuery Mobile, & Sencha Touch under a section called "Special iPhone / iPad Enhancements" is not only misleading (WebKit is also on Android, hello) but , if expanded on, could have been the most helpful part of that article for someone who really wants to learn about mobile development.
The conclusion of the article talks about the infancy of mobile and how standards are emerging. I would argue that frameworks like the ones above can help drive mobile standards and also enable developers to build applications within the mobile space with confidence.
