Brightpoint Finland to Include WinWAP browser on Windows Mobile enabled phones. |
The WinWAP browser enables the mobile Internet services offered by Telecom Operators to be used on Windows Mobile devices. Winwap Technologies Oy, specialists in providing mobile Internet browsers and multimedia messaging (MMS) software, and Brightpoint Finland Oy, distributor of wireless technology, today announce that Brightpoint will install and distribute the popular WinWAP browser as part of phone edition devices running the Windows Mobile platform. In order for Telecom Operators to charge users for downloadable content and online services the device must include a WAP browser that includes the WAP transport protocols. The WinWAP 4.x for Windows Mobile browser, which is WAP 2.0 and backwards compatible, provides the means for using a Telecom Operator WAP Gateway/Proxy which is required for the Telecom Operator to charge users for mobile content like downloaded ringtones, pictures and services used. Additionally the browser provides limited HTML capabilities allowing users to view the content of most traditional non-WAP websites as well. "Winwap is exited to have been selected by Brightpoint as the provider of the browser software required by Telecom Operators," said Mikael Krogius, CEO, Winwap Technologies. "Our continuous efforts to improve our browser technology will assure that Brightpoint can always offer the best mobile browser solutions to their customers." "Our customers require that the phones we provide include capabilities allowing us to generate revenue from mobile Internet portals, and the WinWAP browser is an effective solution for adding this functionality to Windows Mobile devices," said Mikael Carlson, Product Marketing Manager, Brightpoint Finland Oy. "We will include the WinWAP browser on devices distributed to Telecom Operators not only in Finland but the Baltic countries as well."
