Developer News Mandrake Linux Founder Back, Virtually Amazon: We're a Technology Company Sun Expands MySQL With Closed Source

By Eric Cook (ecook@internet.com)

Overview

A few short years ago, browsing the Web on a wireless handheld computer was nothing short of a Star Trek fantasy. How quickly times change -- today this is no longer an idle daydream, but a reality being put into effect by wireless and computer companies alike.

As we’ll see, these problems are actually not all that difficult; they just require us to approach our creation of web content and code with a slightly different set of goals.

Let’s focus on one of the most popular handhelds around, the Palm Organizer, and see how its developers are solving bandwidth problems with a system Palm Computing has christened Web Clipping.
