Indeed, the wireless industry will never get enough oxygen to reach 
critical mass until the wireless devices can run IE or Netscape. IMode is 
the closest thing to that, and also the most successful. Why don't people 
get that?

Same opinion.
But customers (top managers) building big sites still get impressed with
the WAP word and the idea of their stuff being accessible everywhere...

Of course that they probably are not WAP users themselves.
(Do WAP users exist?)
