<p>Mobile computing is here. With the successful launch of the new i-Mate Pocket PC in Middle East, several thousands of people can be seen surfing the web using high speed GPRS which helps one connect to the web, 24x7. When you look at the international sales figures and the projected growth for PDA's, the figures are astounding. Most global mobile phone manufacturers are soon going to enter this space and take a share of the market.</p>

<p>This opens up a new realm of opportunities. For one, business owners have to ensure that their corporate and B2B web sites are supported by the no frills browsers. In other words, 'Are your web sites visible on the PDA's and other hand held devices?' If not, you need urgent help! Contact a web design company that has the necessary skills set, ASAP.</p>

<p>Here are a few do's and don'ts:</p>

<p><b>1. Basic does it</b><br />
Get a text only simple site which is quick to download.</p>

<p><b>2. No bells and whistles</b><br />
Stay far away from the Flash multimedia intros</p>

<p><b>3. Text only navigation</b><br />
Avoid frames like you avoid the plague!</p>

<p><b>4. Test and retest</b><br />
Ensure that the site works just the same on different PDA's</p>

<p><b>5. Announce the site to PDA news media</b><br />
Visit www.pressreleasenetwork.com</p>

<p><b>6. Act, don't react</b><br />
The time to do it is NOW</p>

<p>The PDA devices act like an extra sales channel. It is important for businesses to jump on the bandwagon. For if you have seen the bandwagon, you have missed it. The idea is to be on it!</p>
