here is what phone.com has Phone.com's microbrowser and UP.Link Burned into the cellphone during the manufacturing process is a 300-Kbyte microbrowser from Phone.com. This microbrowser uses the cellphone's screen to display web pages served in the wireless markup language (WML). Other carriers besides Sprint PCS using the microbrowser include AT&T's PocketNet service, GTE's Internet on the Run, and Bell Atlantic Mobile's Cellscape. UP.Link is a middle layer that carries data from land-based Internet protocols, such as HTTP, to the wireless application protocol. Ben Linder says that because the browser is so small, much of the protocol and processing work gets done at the UP.Link level.
