I have not done a whole lot of investigation into .NET but from what I understand the Mobile Information Server add-on is their solution to the mobile device problem. It looks to also be based on the web forms model. > > The main (and imho *huge*) advantage that Cocoon has is that it is open > source software.

I would also submit that maintenance of open source projects vs. Microsoft is a big advantage. Not only because you have the source but the community, at least ones that I have worked with, are quick to fix problems. > > Although if you give some more details on what piece of .NET you are > looking > at it might help with better answers.

From the research I have done they extend the idea of Web Forms to mobile web forms; and it only looks to work for WML enabled phones.
