[2] Wapedia was originally a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) site for use on mobile phones of the very early 2000s.
The URL for Wapedia was http://wapedia.mobi/ Archived 2010-10-06 at the Wayback Machine (which was one of the early examples of a .mobi website).
[3] Over time, HTML interfaces were added, with the site generating pages optimised for a variety of mobile devices such as smart phones, Personal digital assistants (PDAs), and tablets.
In 2009 dedicated applications for iPhone,[4] Android and WebOS were launched.
Wapedia injected adverts into the Wikipedia articles, either in the HTML or in the applications.
