This paper explores requirements application authoring tools should satisfy for the development of cultural applications tailored for deployment on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones. The paper reviews the use of mobile technologies in the context of cultural organizations and tourism. It identifies and evaluates the development and design facilities provided by state-of-the-art multimedia application development tools for PDAs and mobile phones: Macromedia Flash Lite, Navipocket and Java 2 Micro Edition. It describes the way these tools have been used in the implementation phase of two projects that have been developed at the Cultural Heritage Management Lab (CHMLab), at the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication, University of the Aegean. These projects focus on the use of PDAs and mobile phones for providing cultural and tourist information, keeping the visitors' interest and attention, as well as promoting various cultural organizations' and tourist facilities. Based on these two case studies the paper extracts a set of PDA and mobile phone application requirements. The paper concludes with a set of suggestions related to the way application authoring tools should be exploited in order to gratify application and designer needs for developing operational and profitable cultural and tourist applications.
