[Web4lib] databases and mobile devices

[Wilfred Drew]

I am investigating how our databases work on my new Blackberry Curve.  The impetus for this is a college wide initiative called TC3 Mobile.  Has anyone done this type of investigation on your subscription databases?  If so , what were your results?  I will write a blog post about what I find in my own experiments.  I have found that using emulators is far from a good test.  Using the actual devices is the best way to go.
