Mobile Web browsing usually involves a lot of horizontal and vertical scrolling, which makes page consultation painful. The main challenge of mobile networking is the context-aware content adaptation. This paper discusses the problem of content adaptation for mobile devices. The adaptation considers the context of the client and the environment where the client request is received. A device independent model is developed in order to achieve automatic adaptation of the content based on its semantics and the capabilities of the target device. A service-oriented Framework, as part of an e-Learning SaaS Cloud, is presented for adapting and displaying learning objects on small handheld devices, including a text-to-speech solution for learners in moving. Some aspects of e-Learning services integration of in Cloud computing environment are also discussed.
