Abstract
A wireless portal system has a wireless server with a hierarchical client aware content aggregation method and system. The client aware content aggregation system includes logic for identifying client wireless devices connecting to the wireless server by using particular characteristics of the client in presenting content selected in response to connection requests from the client to the server. In one embodiment of the invention, the client aware content aggregation system receives an indication of a client type and uses this information to automatically search for content from a configurable set of web-sites on the Internet and formats content selected by the end-user for delivery to the client.
