I have a LAMP application that I want to allow mobile smart phone users to access. I'm looking for the easiest way to port the application to something that will work on mobile phones. Can someone suggest a language/tool/framework to do this and why you would recommend that? Are there good sources for beginners on this topic?
Thanks.

The only thing you might do is change the HTML/CSS to fit a small screen. And that's a

Right - I only want access from mobile devices (not load all of that on the device). I wasn't sure if it was more than reformatting the screens to work on a smaller device. From what you are saying - this would be the way to go.
Also, thanks for the link to best practices.
