I've heard the word convergence being
utilised in the high tech industry on multiple occasions but never before had I
thought that a merger between a WAP browser and a TV remote control was
feasible. But tvCompass is offering such a device in
the shape of a Digital Media Remote (DMR).
What tvCompass realised is that when you
put an LCD screen inside a Wi-Fi enabled TV controller, you have to find some
means of enabling the user to view internet content. Rather than re-invent the
wheel, the company decided to use an existing standard – WAP.
So it struck up a deal with Winwap Technologies to incorporate a WAP browser
inside its DMR. So WAP isn't dead after all.
