hdml is not the whole standard. WAP is a protocol that allows hdml to be sent over the air. It is a protocol stack much like TCP/IP with the same type of layered architecture. So WAP is to wireless as TCP/IP is to the internet. WAP allows diverse physical air interfaces to behave in a similar way. Java is just a language. It is not a protocol. I think WAP will be the de facto standard. The interesting thing is to see how the 3rd generation standards fit in with WAP. GPRS and EDGE are promising megabits/sec bandwidth wireless access. But there is only so much spectrum out there, so pico cells will need to be used. This will take a while to build out. Remember. Java has not supplanted HTML/HTTP, TCP/IP, it has only enhanced it.
