Rebelscum Presents Wireless Collecting
News
WAP enabled Star Wars
collecting news! Rebelscum is pleased to roll out an all-new level of
service to the Star Wars collecting community: wireless news. Now fans
with web-enabled cell phones can keep up to date with the
latest Star Wars collecting news even when away from their computers. Simply
call up the "www.rebelscum.com" address with your
Internet compatible phone and you'll be able
to view our main page news one article at a time, starting
with the latest. Fast, easy, and mobile.
What is "WAP"?
WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol which, like HTML, is a
common "standardized" language used to display information on
small devices such as cell phones.
Can my cell phone
receive Rebelscum news?
That depends on your phone and provider. Many of the popular Nokia
phones, most every current SprintPCS phone, and a plethora of other
cell phone manufacturers offer this nifty service. Gelon.net
- an excellent source for WAP information - provides an abbreviated
list of some WAP enabled devices right
here.
I don't have a cell
phone - can I see an example of what a WAP site looks like?
We highly recommend the cell phone emulator over at Yospace.com.
Free to try and very cool.
Moving
our favorite hobby into the wireless realm is all part of our ongoing
effort to bring our readership the best collecting site possible.
Since WAP is a new
environment and implemenation varies by equipment and provider, we're
very interested in hearing from users of the service. Specifically,
which phone you have, how it works, whether you saw the graphics, and
if you encountered any errors. Please write with
feedback.
