Abstract
Early mobile browsers offered minimal functionality and thus were not that popular with users accustomed to desktop browsers´ capabilities. The mobile Web has moved forward largely because wireless-access technologies have advanced. Today´s mobile browsers work with the same Web-based technologies as PC-based browsers, including PDF code and JavaScript.
