Abstract

In order to separate promises from practice in personal digital assistants (PDAs) and wireless communications, we decided to try to build a wireless PDA-based client to access the world wide web. Using equipment available in the winter of 1994, we were able to build a client that we call W4, the Wireless World Wide Web. In this paper we describe our initial design choices, implementation, experience with the device, and close with some thoughts about next steps in this area.
