Description

The mobile Internet builds on a radical shift in the way we work, play, and communicate, extending traditional Internet and Web services to such wireless devices 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 applications 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.

"This book is an example of a unique partnership of motivated, technical teammates and would-be competitors coming together to develop a real 'how to' book on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)....The authors are all actively working in the wireless and Internet industry, on the 'front line', helping to develop and deliver services to customers using a new wireless Internet standard....They have produced a WAP reference that will become 'required reading' for anyone planning to create applications, author content, deliver, or deploy services to wireless devices." Gregory G. Williams Chairman of the WAP Forum From the Foreword
