Legacy mobile content can include WAP sites, PDA sites, .mobi sites or downloads like
wallpapers,
ringtones and games. However, initiatives like dotMobi and the
W3C Mobile Web Best Practices
Working Group are encouraging the development
of new, richer sites designed for the advanced
capabilities of today’s handsets.
The most advanced of these sites are beginning to use JavaScript and
Ajax.
