Creating Content for Handheld Devices

This from Teri Hartman -
If you are a librarian creating content for handhelds, this might interest you.

I'm writing an article on creating content for PDAs. If any of you
Webmasters create content for Palm or CE devices, I'd be very
interested in speaking to you about your experiences (EG benefits of providing handheld content, stumbling blocks, etc.)

Thanks in advance
