Wap stands for'wireless application protocol' whichallows users to send emails andaccess information from the Interneton a mobile phone.
This has beenmade possible by technologicaladvances in 'bandwidths', theamount of data that can be receivedor sent within a fraction of a second.This means that it can be used formany more purposes than werepreviously imagined, includingvideo transmission.123456What is the predicted Wap phone use by 2005?What developments have made this technology possible?How can you access a favourite website easily?How can one time slot be shared by many users?What peripheral can be attached to some phones?Why cannot Wap phones access all websites?Language A Wap phone cannot dialinto every website.
The language ofthe Web is HTML - hypertextmarkup language. Wap operates onWML - wireless markup language,so Wap phones can only read pageswritten in WML. Because the screenon a Wap phone is so small that youare unable to read a normalwebpage, WML pages tend to consistof small chunks of information.Soon, however, most webpages willbe written in XML - extensiblemarkup language. This can beprogrammed to ensure that everyphone or PC receives transmissionsin the language it understands.SMS (Short Message Service)allows the phone to predictlikely words from thekeystrokes entered with up to10, 000 pre-programmedwords which it recognises.Websites and emailaddresses have to bekeyed in via thenumbers, thoughfrequent addressescan be stored inthe memory andaccessed witha key stroke.Spread Some analysts reckon thatWap phones will overtake PCs as themost common way of surfing theInternet, although PCs will still beused for more complex applicationssuch as spreadsheets and videoplayers.Lifespan Some industry expertsbelieve that Wap will have a limitedlifespan and will quickly be replacedby more sophisticated technology,such as General Packet Radio Service(GPRS) and the Universal MobileTelecommunications System(UMTS).
GPRS increases thebandwith still further and allowsyou to send up to ten times moreinformation than Wap technology.However, users will still be limitedby the size and resolution of thescreen on which the data is received.One analyst, Jakob Nielsen, advisescompanies to forget Wap and plan,instead, for the next generation ofphones.
