HDML

Hand Held Device Markup Language

The HTML for PDAs, it is a computer language used to define hypertext-like content and applications for handheld devices that have small display screens. HDML is designed to leverage the infrastructure and protocols of the World Wide Web while providing an efficient markup language for wireless and other handheld devices.

Congruent with the capabilities and limitations of many handheld devices, HDML's focus goes beyond presentation and layout. HDML provides an explicit navigation model that does not rely upon the visual context required of HTML. As such, HDML offers an efficient means for delivering content over the Web to handheld devices, such as cell phones, pagers, and wireless PDAs.
