If I can just stick my oar in here a moment!...
WAP is not useless... It's just useless for what many people think they can
do with it! (eg, use it to "surf the web").
WAP is however *very* useful for what it was designed to do... a very low
bandwidth information system. Hence it can be very useful for HA people.
I
use WAP pretty extensively to dial directly into the house and monitor
various HA things... I can even set the alarm via WAP if I leave the house
without setting it (which used to happen *all* the time!). With the
addition of SMS alerts, it can be a very usable system...
All I need to do now is think of a reason just way I'd *want* to draw the
curtains from a WAP device halfway round the world! :-)
Adam.
