hi guys,

Tried posting this on the groups.drupal.org site..but, wasn't able to...it's just a useful reference for those building wireless accessible Drupal sites. I don't use the full toolkit, but I found the references very useful to build a drupal theme that is viewable on PDA & MOBILE phones.

I'll be making that hybrid "anybrowser" theme available soon on drupal.org..but, I thought I would mention the following as a point of reference for anyone Drupalling moble/pda/wireless sites.

There seems to be an increase in demand for sites that are viewable on a desktop + wireless devices.

here's the blurb from http://www.hawhaw.de

HAWHAW stands for HTML and WML hybrid adapted Webserver and is a toolkit to create universal mobile applications.

You want to provide a mobile service?

Accessible via WAP?

... or via XHTML?
... or via HDML?
... or via i-modeTM?
... or via MML?
... or via VoiceXML

... or better all together in one single application?

... and accessible from each "big-screen" HTML browser
... from each PDA
... and even with a Lynx text browser

hope that's of use to others..some of the VoiceXML stuff is very interesting and advanced, but, the general advice and tips on how to construct an "anybrowser + any device" Drupal theme was useful for me.
