Assembling the Tools
To build this application, you need to get a few components. Even if you don't have a WAP-enabled or WML-enabled phone, there are simulators available that will make your development job easier and let you keep your airtime bills to a minimum.
The first software package you need is the Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit, which is available from Microsoft as a free download. At the time of writing, the Toolkit was available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=35406.
The second tool that you need is a WAP/WML emulator. The one that I used and was recommended in a number of discussion forums is the Openwave SDK, available from openwave.com at http://developer.openwave.com/download/license_50.html.
