Bringing the wireless Internet to mobile devices

Effectively mapping Internet content to mobile wireless devices requires not only new technologies and standards, but also innovative solutions that minimize cost and maximize efficiency to the benefit of both content providers and consumers. The wireless Internet must deliver information to handheld device users regardless of where they are and how they are connected, and in a suitable format - a challenge complicated by the dizzying array of devices, wireless standards and applications. Transcoding and the Relational Markup Language are promising middleware solutions to the problem of bringing Internet content to the extremely diverse and dynamic mobile wireless device universe.
