Abstract
A unique database architecture and applications for enabling large amounts of text and graphic images to be displayed on handheld computing devices such as personal digital assistants, smart phones, and other wireless personal computer platforms is disclosed. The unique database architecture and applications provide a user friendly interface for creating and storing text and graphic or image content using a standard personal computer in which the data is converted, compressed, manipulated and stored into the unique database architecture. The converted and compressed data can be loaded onto a handheld computing device to provide a tool for viewing the text and image content in a small portable form. The unique database architecture and applications are particularly useful for providing mobile content such as reference materials, training materials, question and answer information, entertainment content, and other content based resources.
