One of the key features of the Openwave Mobile Developer Toolkit is the included sample applications and source code that illustrate how to take advantage of relevant mobile technologies to build more valuable, user-friendly applications. Our goals are:

· To provide relevant examples that illustrate proper use of mobile technologies and,

· To stimulate ideas of how to improve mobile services by incorporating multiple mobile   technologies.

For this edition of the Openwave Mobile Developer Toolkit, the technology area of emphasis is XHTML/CSS, which we believe will be critical in the coming year, as many phones will support it. We believe that it will improve usability and richness for end-users and it allows developers to use their HTML skills to build mobile applications.
We have also provided a brief XHTML Tutorial.

We are providing three sample applications:

Restaurants: This restaurant guide illustrates proper use of XHTML-MP/CSS and location technology to build a user-friendly, location-based service.

MovieLife: This movie guide also takes advantage of XHTML-MP/CSS and location and hints at how MMS could be incorporated to build a more valuable movie guide.
Peer2Park: This is an innovative service that takes advantage of location technology, push technology and a peer-to-peer service model to help you find parking spaces from other people in a crowded city. Occupiers of hard-to-find parking spaces can sell them to people looking for parking spaces.

There are two versions of these applications:

The static versions do not illustrate server-side calls. They are provided to allow you to use and experiment with them offline.

The dynamic versions include use of server-side technologies, such as location APIs. They require you to have an Internet connection.

The readme files within each example explain how the applications were developed.
