wap.nettech.in / nettech.mobi activated : useful WML tips for begineers!!

There are more mobile phones in the world than televisions and PCs combined. And millions of people are using those mobile phones to connect to the Internet. IDEA cellular has already started m-commerce (you can buy fish and transfer money from your mobile to the fish vendor). Today you can by railway ticket, air ticket as well as shares. Trust me a day will come you will have more mobile sites or “wap” sites then the “www” sites (unless you configure your www to cater to wap also). On an average any household in urban India will have minimum 4 mobile connections. It’s a huge market or the opportunity that we are looking at.

I take immense pleasure to inform you that, we have also started our wap site this month. Now you can get information about Nettech and its upcoming programs in a wap enabled mobile phone or smart phones. Visit wap.nettech.in or nettech.mobi from your wap enabled mobile phone.

Now students can track their application status for Nettech program in a mobile phone. (I am looking forward to starting the program registration also very soon). Do let me know what else we should add in our wap site.

For all those who doesn’t understand the difference between wap and www sites. WML (Wireless Markup Language) is the new programming language for mobile communication devices of any kind. The language is strongly similar to HTML and can be learned fairly quick in you understand basic HTML. WML has been developed especially for devices with limited memory and low graphic ability, like cell-phones or PDAs.

To read WML-pages you need a WAP-browser, you will not be able to view a WML page from your regular browser like IE or mozilla. WML-pages are black and white because colors would need too much memory.

If you want to see WML-pages in your computer you need to have a WML emulator you can visit the following web site to check your WML-pages online.
