I am new to mobile stuff but know how to do fairly advanced web programming.

How do you convert an existing web site so that it is available on a PDA?

Is there a decent tute available?

Thanx.

What kind of site is this? A standard web site, or a wap site?

Standard websites are based on HTML, and in this case what kind of PDA is your target? All platforms or only Windows Mobile (Pocket PC and Smartphone), Palm, Symbian, Linux? They all have different user interfaces and some browsers do not support everything.

The trick is to find the minimum common set of features. There are some documents on http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/default.aspx that explain the current set of features on Pocket Internet Explorer. I'm sure there are some documents for other platforms as well.
