There's more than one problem with the idea of, say, WAP MUDs right
now, but the big one seems to me to be the lack of push support. For
instance, even if you were to make a simple game like chess, you'd
have to constantly check to see if your opponent has moved. There
isn't a way for you to be told automatically. This presents somewhat
significant problems in terms of multiplayer interactivity.
