It seems like so long ago when we built the first fully WAP compliant application in the US...Spring of 2000.

The article mentioned that you cannot use Images, but that is not correct. You can use WBMP, wireless bitmap images. Having them on the splash screen or strategically placed within the app can add some nice look and feel.

Let us know what you think of this two-part series.
