Newbie Developer -- Few Questions

[cracker23]

Hey everyone,

I'm currently in the process of working with a vendor to build a mobile phone application. I have a few questions regarding the actual architecture of these apps that I'd appreciate any comments on. As I am a newbie please be kind.

Like the web, can you include stylesheets that will utilize the same typeface across multiple devices and os. For example, if I wanted to use Arial 10pt for my typeface, how hard is this to apply to a Windows, Java and Brew format.

What is the typical screen res that you develop around (early concepts)? Do you create different versions based on the screen res or is there a starting point that typically will work on most devices.

What is the preferred image format, jpg, gif or png?

Thanks for any responses

Are you talking about creating a mobile application that will run on the device or are you talking about creating a web based application?
