9 Working with Pages Designed for Mobile Devices

In Oracle Portal, you can create mobile pages specifically for mobile devices, such as cell phones. Note that standard pages can also be viewed on mobile devices. However, to provide page designers with more control over the appearance of pages displayed on mobile devices, Oracle Portal enables you to set up mobile pages specifically for display on the small screens of such devices.
