WAP... what's it all about?

Wireless Application Protocol is a standard that means different devices (Mostly mobile phones and PDA's) can use as a multi layered application to access the internet from. The WAP browser allows the user to access the internet or set up systems from a smaller device. The internet sites that the WAP browser enters usually have to be made using WML. (Wireless markup Language.)
Since the wireless application protocol many tasks we can do by phone now were not possible before. These are tasks such as emailing from a phone device, accessing the internet and dowloading files to store from the web.
WAP is a global operation, so it doesn't matter which country you are in as long as you are able to connect you can browse the web and use other applications from WAP.
