Rating:

WinWAP for Windows (ver. 3.2) lets you use WAP services on your Windows PC. The WAP browser is a mobile Internet browser that allows you to use the mobile Internet services you would use on your phones built-in browser. WinWAP for Windows 3.2 supports the Wireless Markup Language (WML 1.3). Have a look at WinWAP for Windows 4.0 for full WAP 2.0 support (WML and xHTML-MP)

The browser looks, feels and works like your regular web browser on your Desktop or Notebook computer.

Where to use - The WinWAP browser is suitable to be used for both business and fun. In the business world it can be used to have access to the mobile services from your PC in addition to having access from your mobile phone. For developers of mobile services it is a very efficient tool for testing the services developed. If you are looking for fun, the WinWAP browser provides access to all the same services (chat, information, google etc.) that you use on your mobile phone. Some telecom operators require that you connect your mobile phone to your computer/PDA and use it as a GPRS-modem in order to get access to the telecom operator specific services.

Difference between a regular Web-browser and WinWAP - Traditional web-services are provided in HTML format, and mobile services (WAP) in WML or xHTML-MP (Mobile Profile). Traditional web browsers like MS Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox do not fully support the WAP format, so in order to have access to WAP pages you must have a WAP enabled browser. WinWAP is especially designed to provide a comfortable and user-friendly experience when browsing mobile content.
