Hi, I've been a ASP.NET C# developer for sometime now, but I have an idea that Id like to see work on a mobile device. So I have a couple of questions as I'd like to use Microsoft products to build it. Firstly, seeing there are many mobile/smart devices on the market, how does one go about building a website that will display properly on them all. For desktop computers, all you have to really worry about is IE, FF, Opera and Safari, which isn't that many. There are most probably over a hundred different mobile devices on the market and I can't see myself purchasing them all to do my test runs. At most I would purchase two. Would it be better for me to develop an application thats installed onto the device via the web rather than a website? I need access to the devices GPS capabilities. One last thing, does Microsoft provide any libraries that support GPS or will I need to do the maths on my own? Thanks in advance. Vince |
