Web applications are now reaching where their users are. Not just in front of their
desktop, but also when they are traveling, or when they are driving looking for a
good restaurant in the neighborhood.
Welcome to the world of Mobile Web!
What is Mobile Web?
Simply put, mobile web refers to the Web being accessed from mobile devices like
cell phones and PDAs. The reach and capabilities of mobile devices has grown
phenomenally over the last three years. Almost all mobile phones now can access the
Internet in some or the other way. All PDAs have a tiny web browser built in. People
are getting used to accessing information from the Web over their phones. Many use
PDAs to check their emails and manage other bits of information. Early adopters
of technology have already been blogging from their mobiles and viewing online
photos and videos while they are traveling. Mobile web is all of that. Any website
accessed from a mobile device is mobile web??”whether it's been tailored to work on
a mobile or not!
Mobile Web Integration is Connecting the Two!
We use mobile phones mainly to communicate with people??”either voice or text.
PDAs so far have been used for managing schedules and contacts, apart from some
occasional office productivity work and games! The Web on the other hand has
evolved greatly over the years.
