WinWap Mobile Internet Browser (Slob-Trot Software Oy Ab)

WinWAP enables the user to use Mobile Internet services with their PC, PDA or Handheld computer wherever they are, and with an interface that is so familiar from traditional web browsers that they don't even have to learn anything new to use it. The WinWAP technology is based on a mobile Internet browser, released in 1999, that is capable of using these mobile services on Windows computers and Handheld devices that have some mobile version of Windows on them. With this browser you can use the same services as on your mobile phone's browser. WinWAP PRO is a mobile Internet browser, that is intended for browsing WAP services on desktop/laptop computers with regular keyboards and large screens. The application is suitable for both amateurs and professionals. The amateur would easily learn what the mobile Internet is about and search for services that might be useful when being on the road. The professional mobile service developer would use the browser for testing their own services using the debugging features of the browser. A notebook computer using WinWAP with a cell phone connection is an efficient way of retrieving information on the road in comparison to loading traditional 'HTML' pages, that are not designed for your mobile needs, over the narrowband mobile connection.
