Mobile devices have different characteristics, including different display resolutions, browser versions and rendering capabilities. When creating a website suited for mobile devices, it is useful to create and serve different versions of the website, adapting its content and style to the device capabilities.
A new tutorial, posted on Forum Nokia Wiki, explains how to use WURFL, an open source project by Luca Passani, in order to identify devices and to serve the right web templates and resources for each of them.
The article is available here: How to serve different web templates and resources using WURFL.
Nice article Alessandro! By the way, can you post another version of this article but using WURFL in Java and not in PHP? I want to host a mobile website in Google App Engine but at the moment, they didn’t support PHP. Thanks!
Hi Alvin,
sure, it’s a good idea to post the Java version of this tutorial. Let me check out the WURFL Java API and I’ll post it asap 
Alvin, and
Cool Alessandro!
congrats
