Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Mobile Devices

The increased popularity and usefulness of the Web combined with the growing reliance on handheld communications devices (such as palm-top computers, PDAs, and cellular telephones) has resulted in web browsers squeezing into the coziest of spaces. Advancing technology and lower production costs have made high-resolution color displays and embedded web browsers standard issue on nearly all new phones and PDAs. This comes as a big improvement over the black-and-white, text-only displays of only a few years ago, and it is creating a call for mobile -appropriate web content.
