Zframe Sends Web Page Replicas to
Mobile Devices
Many companies are trying to address the problem of wireless
Internet on smaller handheld devices where screen sizes differ in
size from very small to relatively small. Then there is the wireless
bandwidth problem - pipe is too thin to send that monstrous data
packets that fixed line networks have no problem handling. Zframe is
trying to address the problem by providing exact
replicas of Internet pages and applications on Palm OS and Pocket PC
devices with an objective to zoom in on specific parts of each page.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: An interesting concept
and variation of the same theme - fitting a full size page on a
small device. Some users may find this acceptable, if you design the
application to fit in a small part of a full-size screen. It does
not address the fundamental problem - too thin a wireless pipe.
