WAP & WML

Notes One of the nifty things about emulators is that they look just like the real thing (see Figure 3.1)
— you can even use the buttons to navigate the way you would on a real phone. Unfortunately,
emulators do not always behave exactly like the real thing.

!
Caution Expect some discrepancies in text layout and even basic functionality, so be sure to
test on real devices before going live to avoid surprises.

The following are some popular WML emulators and their respective sites for downloading.
The Openwave Simulator is the most popular due to the widespread use of the Openwave
Mobile Browser and its predecessor, the UP.Browser. All of these programs are Windows-only,
so Mac and Unix users are out of luck.
