WELCOME to WAPman
---------------------
The WAPman is a fully compliant wireless application protocol (WAP ver 1.1) browser for the Palm OS 3.1 Computing Platform.
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is a de facto worldwide standard for providing internet communication and advanced telephony services for digital mobile phones, two-way pagers, personal digital assistants and other wireless devices.
In the very near future (4th quarter 1999), WAP-enabled mobile phones will be commercially available. These devices will be able to perform various transactions including Mobile Commerce, Mobile Betting, Mobile Banking, Mobile Trading using a wireless protocol. Using the same protocol, a Palm user will be able to connect to a WAP site using a suitable communication device e.g. a palm modem and telephone line or an IrDA communication device and a mobile phone etc. Thus, using WAPman the user will be able to surf WAP sites and perform transactions.
