Hey,
some one feels like answering Mr. Jose Manrique Lopez de la Fuente
questions?
z.
Jose: This is a community project why do you think it is better to
pick one person (me) instead of asking our community? You just took
some of my valuable spare time which means I will have less time to
write code which saddens me.... Please see rule 2 from [1]....
Sending patches can undo the damage....

Betreff: Questions about OpenMoko web browser
Hello,
I have some questions about how OpenMoko web browser.
- It is going to be used in a mobile phone. Does it send a
X-WAP-Profile or Profile HTTP header when it makes a request? Does it
use UAProf standard[1]?
- Have you considered adding OpenMoko web browser capabilities to
WURFL[2] description file?
- Does OpenMoko support CSS Media Queries[3]? Specially "handheld"
CSS render.
These features are very useful for web content providers that adapt it
depending on device capabilities.
I know that OpenMoko web browser is based in WebKit (like iPhone,
Android os S60 platforms), but offering desktop website in a handheld
device gives a poor user experience:
- Scrolls. Ok, you can have nive kninetic scrolls, but, it is a mess
when reading content that way, specially using horizontal scrolling.
- Content reading. Offering a zoom out version of the website could
make it unreadable for the user (personal experience with iPhone and
Opera Mini 4)
- Size of downloaded data (think about cost/byte)
- And many others...
We already have W3C Mobile Web Best Practices[4], and it would be nice
if OpenMoko web browser think about it and perhaps it could join some
initiatives as W3C Device Description Repository[5] to make it a
'golden class' device in test suites[6]
And think about this:
- Screens are getting bigger
- Screen resolutions are getting bigger
- But my hand still have the same size
Thanks and best regards,
