■ Technology background
A technology called wireless application protocol (WAP) is to mobile devices what the world wide web (WWW)
is to personal computers. The mobile community began developing WAP several years ago to provide access to
the Internet for mobile users.
Most WAP sites are made up of text and hyperlinks. Some pages even contain low-resolution graphics, or
require data input. Your service provider and others are free to design WAP sites as they choose, so the sites are
as varied as the web pages on the Internet.
Internet content on your personal computer is called a web page. Internet content on your mobile phone is
called a page, WAP card, or a deck of cards. You may not be able to view all the details of the mobile Internet
pages, as page appearance may vary due to screen size.
