- KaiserPro 3y agoI do! but WAP was pretty much dead by 2007. It was ok on black and white feature phones, but smart phones had actual browsers. A lot of them shit. Safari's interface was great. Safari was and still is, a bit shit. If you remember, a lot of sites were using flash, and safari couldn't run it (because the iphone didn't have enough ram/cpu spare) The iPhone accelerated the "booo flash is shit, lets use javascript" trend significantly. But that was because the iphone was weak, not because it was strong. More over, it had a critical mass of people that were both webdevs, and target market. In the same way that AVP can't operate on trains/cars that move too much (IMU is used to speed up SLAM) I'm sure there will be a lot of "oh don't use AVP as a passenger, its bad for your health" when its just that the hardware cant do it, without an external IMU reference.
