pictures, their resolution <strong>and</strong> other graphics-related issues are h<strong>and</strong>led by separate,<br />

more suitable h<strong>and</strong>lers to guarantee the best possible viewing experience. The same<br />

principle applies to voice elements as well. As Figure 8.10 suggests, there are many<br />

content h<strong>and</strong>lers <strong>and</strong> their number will most likely increase. A good example of the<br />

use of these is graphics: nowadays, the Internet supports several tens of available<br />

picture formats, all of which are necessary for pictures to be shown to an end-user.<br />

The most common graphic types in this sense are: BMP (bitmap picture, various subversions<br />

of BMP exist), JPG (for photos, various versions exist), GIF (Web-tailored<br />

format for photos, various versions exist), TIFF (heavy picture format with high<br />

resolution possibilities) <strong>and</strong> PNG (portable network graphics supported by st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

browsers).<br />

From the network point of view mobile browsing is a basic service facility, which<br />

does not set too many requirements for the transport network itself, because mainly it is<br />

a terminal issue. The network’s task in mobile browsing is to be available <strong>and</strong> able to<br />

open data connection(s) according to an end-user subscription’s QoS definitions for<br />

browsing purposes (Figure 8.11).<br />
