Mobile Web Best Practices should help smartphone browsing
W3C, the standards body behind the Web, have released new guidelines, dubbed "Mobile Web Best Practices" and signed off by many major names, including Microsoft and Nokia. The document is a must-read for anyone producing smartphone/PDA-friendly web content.
Many of the suggestions are basic ideas that should have been sorted waaaay back, and it must have been incredibly painful for the authors to get agreement from all parties involved. I wonder if they will actually get used...
It is sad that it has taken this long. Most of the recommendation are common sense and have more to do with designing for small screens. Of cours eif you're speficially targetting smatphone some of the recommendation (e.g. Cookies support issues) are less applicable. Still good to see an initial starting point.
