Description
The mobile Internet builds on a radical shift in the way we work, play, and communicate, extending traditional Internet and Web services to wireless devices such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). This book is about the mobile Internet, the technology that powers it, and how to write content and application for this new environment. It is both a tutorial and a reference for two major audiences: content and application developers who need clear, technical details to guide their work, and business strategists and service planners who need to understand what drives the mobile Internet and where it is heading. Covering WAP 1.2, this book sets the standard for WAP resources.
