Abstract :
Mobile devices present new challenges for technical communication professionals. Multiple markup languages, small display screens, and limited input methods pose obstacles that information developers must overcome to insure that information is received as intended. This paper is a useful resource for information developers challenged with providing content to mobile devices or who are interested in the unique technical requirements of developing information for mobile devices. The paper also delves into the design implications of displaying information on these devices and offers guidelines for serving content to mobile devices
