> The WAP and I-mode issue is much more than byte or double byte fonts. Sure. The WAP versus i-mode discussion is very old by now, and you can find many of the points summarized here: eurotechnology.com Essentially it makes no sense to compare WAP and i-mode directly. What makes sense to compare is a particular implementation of WAP-based mobile internet with i-mode. The reason is that there is a wildly successful implementation of WAP in Japan, while I think you'll find few people who'll support the idea that WAP was wildly successful in Europe or US. Indeed, Openwave's (ex-Phone.com)'s by far biggest customer was or still is in Japan. > For example, the issue of WAP using 160 byte SMS message transfers until the operator has got GPRS implemented I don't understand your point - that may be a point which is valid only for the particular WAP implementations in Europe - don't forget that other countries, like Korea and Japan and US have totally different mobile internet businesses than Europe. KDDI in Japan has a full WAP-based mobile internet system with more than 10 million regular paying users who use email and photo-mail emails before CDMA2000-1X (KDDI's version of GPRS) was implemented. KDDI got around the limits you mention long before starting 3G services, for which they also have a couple of million users now.
