WAP and Safari: Who Will Stick Around?


So it was concluded that the iPhone browser passes with flying colors, but what does that mean for WAP? Perhaps failure.

According to PC MAG writer Jamie Lendino, the demise of what we know as “Mobile Internet” will come, but not soon. Despite what I think with my new toy, WAP is not dead yet, but it is still alive and twitching. Lendino states that, unlike browsers found on smartphones and feature phones, Safari renders real webpages like a desktop browser.

Could iPhone be the killer of, what we once thought,




a great browser? When looking at many things that have been brought to the bottom by a new product, it would invent since that the “Mobile Internet” will see its dooms day. Lendino states that the brains beneath the beautiful veneer is, without a doubt a glimpse of things to come for future phones. But until desktop class operating become the norm, WAP or mobile websites will be here for a very expanded duration.

Death will come, but come slowly.
