Re: cell phone browser

Shelby:

I think the site you are looking for is:

http://www.wapdrive.com/

They have emulators, editors and code examples--not to mention, several
articles.

However--once you look this over I'm sure you will come to the conclusion
that this is a totally different medium. In any real sense of the meaning,
HTML it "ain't" !!!

It quickly shows that viewing the average web site with a cell phone is
almost as hopeless as trying to watch "West Wing" with an AM radio.

So--it would appear--that one must create a second site dedicated to the
cell phone crowd. And even then--whether the cell phone surfer will ever
really want to do serious shopping with the limited view of products and
time consuming bother of trying to receive any amount of meaningful
information on their liquid crystal, (or whatever) display--is yet to be
demonstrated.

A buddy recently showed me how he "downloads" e-mail. Just watching him go
through screen after screen while squinting at the glare filled, hard to
read viewer screen, was a real turn off.
