I don't think there is ANY chance of a WAP server in many handhelds. The best I think we can hope for is some local persistant storage and then make use of the cut-down JavaScript that WAP provides to queue up requests to send later. Otherwise, work live. > What do you think? Any interest/intention to make PHP also play in this > field? I see PHP being used more, but still at server end. Getting into different PHP versions accross some non-upgradable handhelds will be a nightmare for developers, and make it hard to use. Sam
