From the Book:The Internet is changing the way we shop, entertain ourselves, and communicate. As the Internet evolves, multiple distinct media are emerging-the PC, the TV, and now the mobile phone. Phone.com was instrumental in this evolution by originating the concept of the browser-enabled phone and co-founding the WAP Forum with Ericsson, Nokia, and Motorola in 1997. We continue this tradition of innovation with our dedicated support of the developer community. WAP presents a major new market opportunity for the Internet community. The number of mobile phones is forecast to exceed 1.4 Billion by 2003. The characteristics of the mobile phone-its portability, "always on" nature, and its location-sensitivity-present a unique application opportunity. WAP is more than a protocol or a markup language; it is a new "mobile-centric" Internet application platform. As such, there has been a lack of comprehensive developer-oriented material to guide Internet developers through the process of becoming great mobile-centric application designers-not only the basics, but also a true real-world guide to creating great applications. Whether you are an Internet or intranet developer, WAP Development with WML and WMLScript will serve as an invaluable tool in your exploration of the mobile Internet. This book was written by some of the leading experts in WAP tools and application development, with input from our own experts here at Phone.com. Its real-world approach and hands-on format will greatly benefit anyone interested in developing for this exciting mobile Internet marketplace. Ben Linder Vice President, Phone.com developer.phone.com
