Map of USA web service - both Topo and Photo - added to the Servant - FREE program for Microsoft smartphone February 15, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. After latest addition the MS Mobiles Servant handles 7 web services:
Here is some explanation about web services and about this program: MS Mobiles Servant is a freeware program that is a consumer of web services. What is "web service" ? It is a service available at some remote server in the Internet, that is accessible through HTTP protocol - the same as this one used in regular Internet browsers. Thanks to usage of the same protocol as Internet browsers, users don´t have to worry that some network port will be blocked, or that firewall will block the communication. However contrary to Internet browser, web service is not communicating with clients through displaying of home pages (consisting usually of HTML code), but is using XML - other format, that is more easily readable by software. So instead of loading big web pages, sometimes containing a lot of content that is of no interest to the users (banners, descriptions, navigation links, etc) a client program that communicates with the server hosting web service is transfering only minimal amount of data. It is particularly important for cell phones to transfer minimal amount of data because users, who use GPRS pay usually for the amount of transferred data. To download this program, completely for FREE, click here. Important notice: this program works only in Microsoft Smartphones powered by Smartphone 2003 software (not in Samsung i600, not in Motorola MPx200, but in Orange SPV e200, i-mate Smartphone2, dopod515 or Qtek 8080).
