... and also HTML 4 and 5, CSS, JScript/JavaScript and Ajax.
I really wish this was the case, for instance the iPhone supports Ajax(xmlHttpRequest), but this has only been available in the Blackberry OS since version 4.6 released middle of 2008. Nokia only supports Ajax on series 60 phones and so on. It is a minefield
of if's and buts about what actually works on each device, that is why you need to use a decent source of mobile phone data

When we are developing mobile web application main thing to consider is to get accurate "Mobile Device Capabilities" information so that mobile web application can be customized for variety of mobile devices as per the capability supported.
We have started using this ASP.NET Mobile API in our mobile web developments and have found very useful because of following
- It makes use of WURFL database widely-accepted as the most advanced and up-to-date mobile device database available.
- Quick & Accurate
- Redirect mobile devices to mobile specific content without altering existing web pages.
- Supports transcoders

The development Blackberry I have is shipped with css - off by default. That's a fact.
Also, what about imode? Did Microsoft just abandon the Japanese mobile market?
Thanks for those, blat. Was aware of the WURFL (they have a good thing going), but not the other two. cheers.

you say SKT_01 is RIGHT, and that you don't need mobile controls...
BUT:
skt_01 gives a link to the mobile templates for visual studio 2008...
How can you say that SKT_01 is right, if he proposes something that you think is not needed?
Thanks for your reply, in advance!

If you are really looking for "Mobile Device Capabilities" upto date information please have a look at http://www.51degrees.mobi/Products/NETMobileAPI/tabid/86/Default.aspx it is free open source ASP.NET Mobile API

- Supports transcoders
For users who wants to use ASP.NET mobile controls for their development than please look at the mobile control library http://www.51degrees.mobi/Products/MobileToolkit/tabid/62/Default.aspx which has mobile controls for Google Map, Location, AdSense, Image Control
