Nice comparison. I found a slight error in 6.6 though: Several (I would
dare say "many" even) WAP services in Europe *DO* use images
(monochrome). Most of them are just logos and fancy menues, but a couple
are actually useful - a map service in Norway springs to mind as
significant, a few weather services are more trivial. I think bandwidth
is the main reason that images are less common - combined with the fact
that actually putting them in the pages is a royal pain, compared to
just stick a gif image in an imode site.
(in fact, Nokia's logo format seem less of a pain to me - I played with
it last week.)
