If
you are familiar with web technologies such as HTML, XHTML, and CSS,
you can start developing your WAP site almost immediately. If you
are new to the above web technologies and now you learn XHTML MP,
you learn at the same time how to write markup code for the web.
The
same development tools can be used to develop both web sites and WAP
sites. You can stick to your web development tools to build your
mobile Internet browsing application. This results in a lower
development cost (no need to buy new development tools) and a lower
time investment (no need to learn new development tools).
Ordinary
web browsers can be used to view your WAP site during the
development process. (You should test your WAP site with emulators
and real mobile phones before the final release, since the
characteristics [e.g. screen size, number of colors supported] of
real mobile devices vary considerably.)
HTML
/ XHTML pages on your web site can be converted to XHTML MP
documents with minor changes or even without any changes. (However,
you have to make sure that the layout of the HTML / XHTML pages
looks nicely on a small screen and that the file size does not
exceed the maximum page size of your targeted mobile devices.)
It
becomes easier to find a developer to join your mobile Internet
application development team, since there are plenty of web
developers on the job market.
