iWapper 2.0 RSS
What
is iWapper?
iWapper is a neat little tool that helps you setting up your very
own WAP site in no time. WAP (wireless application protocol) sites
are a special kind of websites (in XML/WML format) that can be displayed
on many cell phones (works best with GPRS/3G UMTS). Until today,
setting up a proprietary WAP server has been a big fuss and tools
to set up WAP web pages are extremely rare. But now there is help:
iWapper can do it all for you -- and even for free (or for a tiny
fee -- see below)! iWapper can generate WAP sites for you; not only
you can use text styles, images and place links (even download links,
email links and phone call links are possible!); iWapper can also
store clips from real-world www-webpages in an intelligent way, so
that it can update dynamic content automatically and put it into
WAP files. New iWapper 2.0 release even adds RSS functionality, so
that RSS news feeds can be automatically transferred into WAP pages.
Moreover, iWapper generates an automatic WAP index page for you --
one size fits all!
What is new in Version 2.0 RSS?
iWapper 2.0 adds support for RSS news feeds. The new iBrowser 2.0 RSS window
included in iWapper can automatically detect RSS links on web pages and shows
a dedicated (orange colored) RSS button. Hitting that button easily switches
into RSS view. Storing RSS feeds does even include an option to limit the number
of pieces of news per RSS feed (can be set individually for each feed) to keep
traffic on your cell phone network as low as possible. RSS feeds are generally
more reliable than HTML clipped pieces of news. Besides, iBrowser 2.0 RSS sports
an improved view of standard HTML pages and displays more special characters
(as used in western european languages). Also, iWapper 2.0 comes with a smart
new WAP Text function that allows you to convert text files to WAP on the fly – so
that you can check your system dump files of your server from anywhere in the
world via WAP. Last not least, iWapper offers you new options to vary the text
size (size changes might not be displayed on all cell phones) and a way to
switch on or off support for the "$" dollar sign (quite some popular
cell phones cannot display that sign and will abort loading a WAP page if they
encounter it...).
