WAP = Quality?
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone refer to WAP as being a “quality” solution…
Re: WAP = Quality?
Yah, really. Ick!
Quality derives from simplicity, and WAP is anything but simple.

Re: Re: WAP = Quality?
It offers wider access to information, whereas the i-mode system is pretty restricted to Japan (and offers cut down services).
Re: Re: Re: WAP = Quality?
“wider access to information”? You’re kidding, right?
i-mode is currently deployed only in Japan, but with DoCoMo’s recent purchase into VoiceStream and KPN, the US and Europe will be seeing it soon.
