WAP is a protocol for the wireless transmission of data to Net devices. In recent weeks, Palm has joined the WAP Forum and has started providing WAP support to OEMs that license its technology. It refuses, however, to use WAP for its own devices, sticking instead with its proprietary Web clipping. It claims that, while WAP works well with teensy smart phone screens, Web clipping works better with comparatively larger handheld screens.
Technical superiority is beside the point.
This is strictly a marketplace and business development issue. You are walking down the middle of the road by supporting WAP for your OEMs but not in your own devices. If you continue, you'll be flattened by traffic coming from both directions. Sorry, Palm, but life isn't always fair and technical superiority isn't always rewarded. Just ask Apple.
