چکیده
In recent times, the way people access information from the web has undergone a transformation. The demand for information to be accessible from anywhere, anytime, has resulted in the introduction of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cellular phones that are able to browse the web and can be used to find information using wireless connections.
