Okay WAP at the moment is only in its baby stage, hence a few mobile phones have it and a few other devices, and yes at the moment its not very good, but that's because of the current technology. I know I keep going on about it, but, I'm sure Bluetooth can and will change the way people use WAP and as the applications become Bluetooth enabled, WAP is a perfect way of transmitting data. Have a look at http://news6.thdo.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid%5F791000/791297.stm Sony has said It is planning to put the Bluetooth short range wireless technology in almost every gadget it produces making it easier to get at data in any device, whether that is messages, music or video. IE Walkmans, laptops, digital cameras and even electronic pets like the Aibo robotic. WAP will be a perfect side technology for this.

Hi Folks!! I would like to hear your opinions about how WAP people often say that WAP is "mobile Internet". In my opinion, WAP is NOT mobile Internet at all. The Internet is built on the e2e principle and based on the Internet Protocols, which WAP is not. I can not tell people that they should not use WAP (even if I have my opinions about WAP). If they believe in WAP that is their problem, but when they try to use the words WAP and Internet in the same sentence I think it is time to clarify a few things. I accept that WAP is there, but be honest about what it is. Cheers! /Lars-Erik (expressing my PERSONAL opinions)
