Handheld Web Viewing
Someone, (I'll call him "the boss") tried downloading the webgraphics homepage plus one level below of links to his Palm device using a tool called Fireviewer. Was delighted to see how readable it ended up, and am considering making templates which optimize content for various handheld devices. There are three issues tho - 1. this site is mostly outside links at the moment, when I eventually get enough time to write another feature article, that type of content might make more sense. 2. Which handheld browser/markup/platform is the most prevelent? Would a comprimse output do better, or is there a few clear leaders? 3. Doing this is somewhat against the purpose of the whole xhtml/css layout movement, matter of fact this site renders quite nicely as is in the few handheld browsers I've checked it with.

just switched to AvantGo. pages display much better than Fireviewer. I'm actually writting this on my palm.
