Mobile AJAX - Frequently Asked Questions
The first Rich FAQ we are presenting is the long overdue Mobile Ajax FAQ and was created by Ajit Jaokar, Rocco Georgi and Bryan Rieger. We welcome comments and feedback. AJAX is a browser technology that involves the use of existing Web standards and technologies (XML/XHTML, DOM, CSS, JavaScript, XHR - XMLHttpRequest) to create more responsive Web applications that reduce bandwidth usage by avoiding full page refreshes and providing a more 'desktop application-like' user experience. The term AJAX was coined by Jesse James Garrett in his seminal document at Adaptive Path.
Reader Feedback : Page 1 of 1

Great article! I have to list one caveat.

OperaMini does NOT support AJAX techniques. This is unfortunate as it is the only real browser available to the majority of phones in use today.

OperaMini 3 has no XHR support, and OperaMini 4 only supports XHR in synchronous transfer mode, making desktop-like effects that rely on async impossible.

After much hands-on research, the only platforms currently supporting AJAX are OperaMobile (available on most S60 phones and Windows Mobile), iPhone's Safari browser, and the Windows Mobile 6 version of IE.

Within the next year we can expect to see competition in this space from Firefox, as the Mozilla peeps are pushing hard to develop a fully-features mobile version. Expect to see it sometime after FireFox 3 is released.

Looks good, i would say an excellent compilation.
