Description

This book explains how to get, format, and transmit content to mobile devices. Learn about the different types of digital media formats, which to use, and when to use them. You will discover about the different types of media capabilities of mobile devices, how systems can automatically detect the capability of mobile devices, and how media formats can be adapted for the best user experience.

Learn how users can access the Internet from their mobile devices and why different types of web pages and content formats are needed for mobile devices. Described are various ways media can be adapted for the three screen resolutions: TV, PC, and mobile devices. You will learn that providing content to multiple types of devices is not as simple as shrinking the video or images.
