Looking at the 176x220 pixel screen probably tells you that viewing 99.999% of the internet is going to be difficult / annoying / impossible.<br /><br />This guide is to help you design pages for Smartphone users to browse. Perhaps you want to create online content or just want your existing pages to be accessible. This needn't be a long tiresome task, involving complete re-writes of pages and as you will see, simple HTML is actually favoured."<br /><br />If you have a website and are hoping to get people to visit from their Smartphones, this is definitely a good resource to have. At the end of the article is a link to download the complete document and sample code.
