There has been plenty of directions about the wireless Internet and the possibility that millions of users will soon access e-mail and Web pages on a smart phone, PDA, or pager. However, little attention has been paid to a technology that is key to the wireless Internet’s success or failure: the micro-browser. As wireless networking improves and the demand for Internet-enabled handheld devices grows, it will be equally important for micro-browser technology to move forward. Developers will face the challenge of improving micro-browser technology while maintaining the small footprint necessary to work with low-resource handheld devices.
Mobile devices such as PDAs and cellular phones that offer Internet access are proliferating. Due to the many unique characteristics of these devices, such as their small screen size and limited network connectivity, existing Web sites may have to undergo significant evolution to
support this type of mobile client. These issues are based on our experiences as both users of mobile devices and as content providers.
The issues where always in the industry and probably there are more to come, however we all must first remember that we need to keep it easy for the users. There are estimations that in 5 years the numbers of PDA’s , smartphones, pocket PC in the U.S will increase and the number of features phones (phones suporting MMs,SMs,) will decrease. In that case issues such as browsing, screens, video, on mobile device will have innovative solutions.
