Tapestry for mobile devices
Hello All,
Sadly I don't know much about web programming for mobile devices. The only
thing I know is that mobile devices uses different protocol to browse the
web. But I find modern devices using usual protocols such as http based on
wireless application protocol. So say I need to make a web application for
an android phone or an application written in j2me. What changes do I need
to do ? what topics should I read about ?
Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
First of all, I'm gonna respond to this mail in design point of view.
Mobile devices now have huge displays and they can display web pages as any
computer. But why people build mobile versions of their web sites? Because
of USABILITY. Most of web sites are not so good in usability when they are
browsed from small mobile phone screen.
That is why every bigger site have mobile version and/or iPhone/Android app.
My suggestion is to use JavaScript to find out if user is accessing on the
phone and then to redirect it to mobile version of page. And you build
mobile friendlier version of that page.
Also there is issue about touch screens... This is also huge, people need to
zoom too much to hit radio button or other small links and other damn
frustrating things. ^_^ But seams that jQuery is working for solution for
even that - go to http://jquerymobile.com/ and check it out.
I hope that this will help you.
Best regards
Bojan

That was true many, many years ago . . . You're talking about WAP. Almost
nobody uses it anymore for a long time. Even Opera Mini, a browser
implemented in Java ME that works in low-end devices, is able to browse
most sites designed for desktop browsers.

None needed, maybe some tweaks needed for the smaller displays found in
mobile devices.
