| Do all WAP devices (browsers) comply with WML
specifications? |
|
No. WAP device
developers will constanty try to push the envelope on the specifications as WAP takes off.
This makes life "interesting" for developers, but it also ensures the rapid
growth of the technology.
Below is the first attempts at creating a matrix that will first of all help you develop
applications that work well on all devices, but also help you identify and solve problems
related to browser differences. The matrix will most certainly grow to galactic
proportions.

detailed list here which you will find very useful
