What mobile technology are you using?

Technology already exists. It's your built-in mobile web browser. We are just using a lot of scripts and tricks to make your City News readable on any mobile phone. Web pages are often written in HTML but they are too complex to be read on mobile phones. Although some mobile browsers can indeed read HTML like Opera Mobile or Opera Mini (used by +5mio techies) or Safari on Apple's iphone, there's no reason to use them as never Web content has been built for small devices such as mobile phones or PDAs. Hmm ...

Technically, it's even more difficult than reaching your elbow with your nose, but on a daily practice, you will find it as easy as making a phone call. In the end, this is what matters.

It's very difficult delivering mobile content. Mobiles are sooo limited. To make it work properly and user-friendly, better re-write your content for tiny screens either in WML (Wireless Markup Language, a XML based very complex language) for WAP devices, CHTML (Compact HTML, a proprietary HTML-derivative language) for i-mode devices, XML, XHTML or WAP 2.0 for smartphones. Unfortunately, all these languages have their pros and cons and whatever your choice is, it won't ever work on all devices as one would expect it. With us, it will.

Before using your mobile or your brand new Wi-Fi enabled PDA (lucky you are), please train a little first. You can test our services anywhere. Magic is what makes us so different from others.
