Thanks for the info. The phone on the site looks to be devoid of a colour
screen and is IMHO ugly. If Microsoft can tie up with some innovative mobile
manufactures and providers, mobile space could get very interesting though.

Unfortunately Microsoft press releases have always made good fiction ;).
Both IE and Netscape have always supported CHTML as it is a subset of HTML
and the Mobile Explorer would support WML not WAP.

While there are some excellent examples of Flash applications out there, God
forbid we have to suffer more self-indulgent Flash fests before we get to an
actual sites content. Maybe manufactures could perhaps put a dedicated "Skip
Intro" key on the phone ;)
