Keep your phone bill under control with Cost Control Voice for Treo Handhelds  Friday, October 21 2005

Berlin, Germany, October 21st -- nova media MDS GmbH today introduced Cost Control Voice for Treo Handhelds. The small application monitors outgoing voice calls, estimates the cost of these calls and creates a variety of reports with a single tap.

For more accurate calculations, Cost Control Voice supports up to 15 customizable tariffs and most billing necessities like monthly fixed charge, minumum turnover, free minutes, customizable tariffs, peak-time, off-peak-time, free contigents, start for billing period and more.

\"Cost Control makes a smart phone out of each Treo 600 or 650,\" states Jan Fuellemann of nova media \"Finally each user gets a good estimation of his telephone costs instantly and can adjust his telephone habits - or choose a different subscription plan\".

Handango Makes Deloitte Technology Fast 500  Wednesday, October 19 2005

HURST, Texas - October 19, 2005 - Handango, the leading provider of mobile downloads, today announced that it ranked number 254 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2000-2004.

"Handango's success is a result of the vision and leadership of the Handango team and our ability to deliver a solid, robust mobile solution to more than 100 industry leaders worldwide," said Randy Eisenman, chief executive officer and president of Handango. "As the leading marketplace for digital media, we provide millions of customers with the content needed to communicate with friends and family, increase productivity away from work and simply have fun in our spare time."

"Attracting enough customers to attain such fast growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company's product and its leadership," said Tony Kern, deputy national managing principal of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. "Handango has shown the right stuff for growth."

In addition to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, Handango has been ranked 20th on the Texas Crescent Technology Fast 50, named the 24th best company to work for in America by SHRM and the Great Place to Work® Institute, and recognized as the 12th fastest-growing company by the Titan Fast 50.

The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte's 15 regional North American Fast 50 lists. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 2000 operating revenues of at least 50,000 USD or 75,000 CAD for the United States and Canada, respectively, and 2004 operating revenues of at least 1 million USD or CAD. Entrants must be headquartered in North America and must be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.

Orange Dominicana Integrates Skweezer Into Mobile Portal  Tuesday, October 18 2005

IRVINE, Calif., October 17, 2005—Orange Dominicana has released its new Orange World portal powered by Greenlight Wireless' Skweezer technology, which optimizes Web pages and searches for mobile handsets.

Orange World is a mobile Internet portal that provides Orange Dominicana's 850,000-plus customers with access to Web content, such as news and sports scores, from their mobile phones and PDAs. A private-label version of Skweezer has been integrated into this portal so that Orange customers will be able to browse off-portal and visit nearly any site on the Internet, whether it's mobile-friendly or not. The Skweezer technology used by Orange includes a configurable search module that allows Orange to choose which regionally relevant search engines they want their customers to use.

"We decided to partner with Greenlight Wireless over other companies because their Skweezer technology is clearly superior in enabling end-users to easily access the wireless Internet with their mobile phones," said Orange Dominicana Product Manager Thien Doan. Orange and Greenlight Wireless share a similar vision of what the wireless Web experience should be like. "We jumped at the opportunity to partner with Orange because of the company's customer-focused culture and commitment to provide an experience that is independent of devices, geography, or language," said Greenlight Wireless CEO Kevin Perkins.

Skweezer technology compresses and reformats Web content being downloaded to a mobile device, so that it loads faster, looks better, and is easier to navigate. A private-label Skweezer service, like the one created for Orange Dominicana, can include an e-mail client, RSS reader, address book, online translation and other useful features designed specifically for the mobile environment. Skweezer is also completely platform-independent and can be accessed from Pocket PC, Palm, MS Smartphone, and XHTML-based cell phone devices.

calcPad - Next Generation Pocket Calculator  Friday, October 14 2005

Press release
October 11, 2005

Leave your old calculating machine behind – here is calcPad for Pocket PC.

Who regards the good old calculating machine as an indispensable tool for large calculation processes has to change his mind very soon.

If many positions are compiled, you may easily loose the track. “Which has been the last amount to sum up?”
When there is a typo too, the calculation is shortly corrupted and the result will be false.

This will change with calcPad by SFR.

Calculations are listed consecutively and simulate the paper tape of the well tried desk calculator that way.
Each calculation process may easily be followed and can be changed retroactively. The user can move comfortable through the calculation by scrolling and change the data – calcPad corrects its result immediately.

To grant even more overview calcPad does not solely understand to juggle large figures but can deal with words too.
Single positions may be annotated if desired and results may be summarized and analyzed in a paragraph.

This feature is especially advisable if calculations should be continued over a long period or if they contain many individual positions.
Who wants to list the monthly cost of his car for example, may easily add the amount of the last car fueling and sees immediately the current balance of cost.
Who adds the amount of liter and the petrol station in a comment now, additionally comes to know where the fuel has been the cheapest at the end of the month.

Calculations built by calcPad may be saved as text-files and may be printed with comments.
They may be used as patterns by simply changing the figures at the accordingly positions.

calcPad may be tested for 30 days without any constraints.
Afterwards a license is required which is available at the cost of $ 9.95.

Further information as well as the documentation is to be found at http://www.calcpad.de.
