Abstract
The present invention provides the capability to support content from mobile applications that is created in only one format on mobile devices that do not support that format. The present invention utilizes a server-side approach, in which online applications for a mobile device are invoked on a server through a server-side proxy/cache. The proxy translates the content that is generated by the application for transmission to the mobile device.
