     XML for Wireless Communications: Issues facing WML and Palm Sized 
         Computing Devices
     
               This presentation examines how XML is being
               used to serve content to digital phones and Palm
               devices via WAP and PQA respectively. The presentation 
               will provide guidance to developers that need to create 
               content for both devices.  Stylesheets for transforming 
               existing content to WML and PQA will be examined in detail. 
               There will be several in-class demonstrations of both
               WAP and PQA. The future of WAP and Palm devices will also 
               be discussed.
