I've never had good luck trying to make the same html  of a web app
work on a mobile phone or normal browser.

Everything is so constrained / different that I've always ended up
creating a separate set of templates that are specifically targeted
for mobile devices. You could probably detect the use of a mobile
browser and have a different set of html templates used as a result.
(I know Tapestry allows for this ability, just haven't had to do it in
Tapestry yet)

Your users will appreciate this customized experienced anyways.

If this mobile browsing capability is more than a "nice to have"
addition to your product (ie a core service that people are likely to
use on a daily basis ) you may want to investigate how much sense
creating a j2me / native app would make. (none if it's not a regular
enough thing that would make people ok with downloading an app)

Tapestry is great for a lot of things, but personally speaking if it
were a critical part of my product offering that people use for more
than casual browsing I wouldn't make it a web app at all...(perhaps
re-use the same services / etc , but the "experience" is always going
to be 10x better when coming in native form on those kinds of
platforms...)

Thanks ... I will try that out .. unfortunately even if it works for me I
cannot compell my customers to download and us it. I don't want to try and
tell the customers how to do so either, as I am trying to sell my prodct not
opera's.
