Re: Mobile Help for BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Palm

["Mayur Polepalli" <dbmayur -at- gmail -dot- com>]

In my previous company (Sling Media), I wrote for SlingPlayer Mobile.
This software runs on Palm, Windows, and Symbian. I used vanilla HTML
pages for the help. It is light and can run on any Web browser. So, if
the mobile device has a Web browser, the user can access the help.

HTML works well :)

In addition, since your source is in XML, it should not be too complex
to get a pure HTML output.

Let me know if you need more info...

Cheers,
Mayur
