g. Animated GIFs are not supported on most
phones. Different browsers will render the same page differently??”some will strip
out formatting completely, while some will shrink the display to fit the smaller
size of the device. Some will remove images and some may not work with access
key-based links. Some have a 9.6kbps link to the Internet, some have higher. Some
may support handheld CSS, while some may only support WML. A device comes
from design to market in 18 months, so manufacturers skip upgrading current
devices to push newer models.
This means that there are millions of devices with differing capabilities that may
access your mobile website. And you have got to make sure that your site looks and
works OK with them. You not only have to test with many browsers, emulators,
and actual devices, but you have to keep listening to your users and make
adjustments accordingly.
