If you're developing a site for PDAs, you might save yourself lots of
work by avoiding WAP. Afterall, a PDA can use a wireless web browser,
which is entirely HTML-compliant (minus the usual browser-specific
glitches). You need only produce a web site optimized for those slow
connections and tiny little screens -- a text-only site. WAP, on the
other hand, utilizes a modified tag set and site layout, using 'decks'
and 'cards.'
Presumably, this will not be a wireless-only site, but a mirror of a
standard website, right? In other words, you might visit the site from
a PDA or a standard desktop computer. If this is the case and your site
is not particularly complex, you might get away with a single,
multi-function site that formats pages according to the client, rather
than maintaining a separate mobile-optimized mirror of your standard,
graphics-rich site. We created a CF_MOBILE tag for this purpose --
detects wireless web browsers -- and published it in the Macromedia
developer's exchange. Perhaps this will be helpful for you.
Feel free to check out our mobile mirror site from your wireless device,

I hope this is helpful.
