Thursday July 05, 2007 Wapple should move to Java ME technology
Currently, there's a company in the UK called Wapple (now, there's a trademark infringement case waiting to happen!), that converts Mobile Internet content to the least common denominator in order to render to a wireless device screen in XHTML, HTML, CHTML or WML. Phooey! No Java ME technology? What's up with that? See: Wapple should use Java ME MIDlet to render Here's a quote: By knowing more about the users' handsets it is also possible to target certain demographics that may have high-end handsets for example. And as it would also be foolish to deliver video or Java applications to older devices that do not support these formats, Wapple prevents this from happening whilst retaining the optimum user experience.I think they should follow what Opera Mini does and use Java ME to render, not a WAP browser. It's much easier and faster that way. But, hey, with a name like Wapple, and a company like Apple which has a slew of lawyers, you know their company won't be around for very long... Or, at least not with their current name! :-) |
