PDA communicating with a web server

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

If you have a PDA that is communicating with a Web server then as I
understand must the PDA have some kind of browser
to be able read and interpret the html stream that is received from the web
server.

Either a browser talking to a web app or an app talking
to a web service.

So you mean that the PDA can talk to a webb app in the same way as a pc
client can
or the PDA can talk to a web service ?

PDA's are probably a bit obsoleted by smartphones today.

But PC, smartphone, PDA, tablet etc. are all computers.

If it has IP connectivity then it can speak HTTP with a
server.

And it can run a browser or a custom app.

They're all just streams of bytes. Any application can be written to
interpret those streams of bytes.
