2000 - 21 (June 2000) TECHNOLOGY Nokia Launches WAP 2.0 Toolkit and Wap Server 1.1 For network operators, application developers, and content providers, Nokia has announced its latest version of its WAP Toolkit -- WAP Toolkit 2.0. It is a free software tool that provides PC-based environment for developers to write, test, and de-bug WAP 1.1 and 1.2 applications.

They can navigate and request URLs on either a limited version of the Nokia WAP Server that is included with each toolkit or any Web server on the Internet. In addition, applications can be stored and queried directly from the PC file system. Components of the Nokia WAP Toolkit 2.0
WAP Server 1.1 It complies with WAP 1.1 specification and uses WTSL security. It includes generic WAP e-mail connector, SNMP, Terminal bearer functionality, Cookie Proxy, and support of WML and WMLscript content. Nokia's 6210, 6250, and 7110 phones support WAP, as does its 9110i communicator - enhanced version of its original clam-shell 9100 - a combination phone and PDA. Another feature of Nokia WAP Server 1.1 is "Nokia Active" that lets Web sites send WAP service settings to WAP-enabled phones. Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: A good development tool from a major player. However, application developers must move on to supporting other phones too, particularly from Qualcomm.
