Hi,

Here in the United Kindom, companies charge over the odds for WAP internet.
The price equates to roughly $0.14USD per minute, which on my phone/provider
typically is a VERY unresponsive WAP experience.

I gave up using it to check my email, it is cheaper/easier/faster to find a
PC to work with.  Besides, usually when I'd feel it was critical to check
my email via WAP my batteries will be discharged anyway ;-)

I much prefer push technology (i.e. messages), just summerising just how
far you're behind.  Then you'd know whether to bother searching deeper via
WML/WAP.

Anyway, wouldn't it be cool if PGAS allowed WAP submissitions?  Next time
you have a stunningly good idea you can test and submit it.  This would be
useful for those fall off their bikes with excitement, and are miles away
from a computer ;-)

[Of course, this requires something akin to the stalled Games::Golf project...
 hopefully version 0.14 will be released sometime this year!  Yes, I am one
 of the "names", but no... I don't have much time at the moment.             ]

[Of course, asking for PGAS extensions will be met with "Where's the patch?"...
 maybe I'll find time over the summer for resurrecting Games::Golf and writing
 that patch.                                                                 ]
