WAP

A standard for providing cellular phones, pagers and other handheld devices with secure access to e-mail and text-based Web pages. Introduced in 1997 by Phone.com (later Openwave Systems), Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia, WAP provides a complete environment for wireless applications that includes a wireless counterpart of TCP/IP and a framework for telephony integration such as call control and phone book access.

WAP features the Wireless Markup Language (WML), which was derived from Phone.com's HDML and is a streamlined version of HTML for small screen displays. It also uses WMLScript, a compact JavaScript-like language that runs in limited memory.

WAP/WAML is often described as the “Mobile Web” and while it has not lived up to this claim dues to slow connection speeds and limited screen sizes we have developed various appropriate WAP applications for clients where these issues have not been a problem and immediate access has been a requirement.
