W3C Plots Better Browsing For PDAs
I’ll say it again, Mobiles are hot, hot, hot. Pretty soon we’ll have to go to museums to see what a desktop was like because we’ll all be in Mobile Land. See you there.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) today jumpstarted a bid to make it easier to access the Web from a mobile device, a dodgy feat that threatens to thwart advanced mobile communications globally.
The standards body launched the Mobile Web Initiative to show users that it is serious about improving the quality of Internet access on handhelds, wireless pagers and smart phones.
The effort is being overseen by W3C Director and Web creator Tim Berners-Lee, who said that mobile access to the Web “has been a second class experience for far too long.” Berners-Lee discussed the MWI in his keynote at the World Wide Web 2005 Conference in Chiba, Japan.
