When WAP was first launched in the late 90s, people were frustrated because unlike the usual rich multimedia experience one can get from a computer, WAP sites are text-based with simple layout.

However, with today’s hectic, always-on-the-go lifestyle, WAP sites viewable on mobile phones are becoming convenient and practical.

WAP sites on nearly every subject matter are available: from news and information from the best news sources in the world like BBC News and Financial Times to sports, travel and leisure like ESPN, MapQuest and Sabre. One can also check his email while in the middle of a lunch-meeting and surf gifts online through e-Bay.

Business have also taken advantage of WAP sites to promote their products. 50% of the world’s population are cellphone subscribers and is twice as big as the population of TV sets in use.  Business and corporations have realized that information on their products, services and promotions can be well disseminated through the use of WAP sites viewable on WAP-enabled mobile phones.

Mobile Advertising started in Finland in the year 2000 where mobile ads were sent to mobile phone subscribers through SMS text messaging. Now, with the latest innovations of high-technology mobile phones, the mobile code has been recently introduced. Mobile codes, which are two-dimensional bar codes, are matrix codes similar to a bar code which, if shot with a camera phone with a built-in code reader, prompts the phone’s browser to connect the user directly to a programmed WAP site. Mobile codes may appear in print advertisements, websites or any other marketing material.

A WAP site is a testament to an ever-developing mobile phone technology. The practicality of a WAP site can create a less hectic, more convenient modernistic world.
