automatically detects your device type and delivers content optimized for it. According to Andrew Yu (Mobile Devices Platform Project Manager) at MIT IS&T, the technology behind the project includes WURFL and Python, XHTML and CSS, PHP, MySQL, SOAP and RSS. Wireless Universal Resource File it’s necessary to think about mobile devices in two classes: smart phones and lower-end devices. These two types of devices typically have different-sized screens that must be taken into account when creating mobile content, and bring two different “interaction styles” to the table: touch and scroll.
Chad Haefele: http://www.hiddenpeanuts.com/msg This form generates a mobile site using the iUI framework , version 0.31 This generator creates a shell for a site , just a navigation structure. You'll still need to add your own content to the code, but this only requires some basic HTML knowledge. (ex: It'll create a subpage called 'hours' for you, but you still have to add in exactly what those hours are)
Evaluations and user testing can be performed on simulators, but nothing beats testing on mobile devices in the real world. Simulators cannot mimic the mobile context and limitations that mobile devices present in real life usage. Small screens Limited input capabilities Limited processor power and memory Limited bandwidth
