Yes, well researched, Kevork, another you might like from 3 is the Sony
Ericsson W950i.
I think the Dopod 838 Pro also has this HTML capacity.
But the costs per month are prohibitive unless you cough up the $1000 to
buy one outright :-(
Curiously the Dopod uses a Windows compatible OS but the A1000 uses a
Symbian OS - so I guess the one I have would not run VB.Net apps locally
- although I have a Java API that would develop apps on it - and one
exists also for C++. The mobile device obviously pre-determines what
language you write your apps in - unless they run off a server eg: PHP
;-)

Hi David,

   Very impressive !!! Looking at the blurb on the Motorola A1000 phone
at http://www.motorola.com/mot/doc/1/1053_MotDoc.pdf , it boasts a full
html browser whilst many other mobile devices ( take an entry level
Telstra 850 - rebadged zte f850 -  offered right now with a Telstra plan
running the Next G network ) run wml .  This means forms will load, but
won't submit if written in html but will do so in wml with or without
PHP.


Best Wishes
Kevork

My Motorola A1000 mobile phone runs HTML and allows point and click on
buttons etc.. :-) hence PHP apps run perfectly - I can even do my
absentees on it. I know of at least 10 other phones now available that
do the same.
Surely no one will be disadvantaged if their apps actually run? After
all it says "coding and debugging" in the assessment doc. But the
"ethical dilemma" has me wondering. How would a calculator or contacts
list match this unless they design an interface that is very different
to what they have seen before, or perhaps login to avoid privacy issues?
