airG To Provide High Quality Java Games
VANCOUVER, B.C. - January 2004 - airG , the fastest growing global player in mobile entertainment products announced today an agreement to partner with Swisscom to provide unlimited high quality Java content for its Vodafone Live! portal. The content is available in four languages - Italian, French, German and English, and will be available on all the latest Vodafone Live! handsets.
"airG is pleased to extend its ability to design, publish and deliver its suite of J2ME mobile entertainment products and services over any network and to any mobile handset to Swisscom," comments Frederick Ghahramani, airG . "There is no limit to the quantity of Java games airG can provide to Swisscom. We will be working closely with the company to meet its handset and language requirements and continue to provide fresh new content."
Java refers to downloadable mass-market applications for mobile devices. It brings true gaming look and feel to the mobile phone, with full colour, motion and rich story lines, and is the first true representation of early console style gaming on the mobile handset. Relevant, new content means more customers, greater data usage and increased revenue.
Swisscom has an extensive mobile entertainment and services offering, which includes tones and pictures, games, information, messaging and m-commerce. With the popular Vodafone Live! service mobile subscribers can access colour photos, cool sounds, exciting games and live news with the push of just one button on their mobile phone.
