Improving Web Browsing on Wireless PDAs Using Thin-Client Computing
Overview Web applications are becoming increasingly popular for mobile wireless PDAs. However, web browsing on these systems can be quite slow. An alternative approach is handheld thin-client computing, in which the web browser and associated application logic run on a server, which then sends simple screen updates to the PDA for display. This paper presents the first experimental study to quantitatively compare the web browsing performance of thin-client systems versus traditional fat clients running native web browsers on wireless PDAs.
