SoonR is the First Mobile Service with AJAX Support Designed Specifically for
Nokia’s Web Browser for S60
CAMPBELL, Calif.-- SoonR, the only company that delivers the power of the PC
and Mac to mobile phones, today announced support for Nokia’s AJAX enabled browser
available in all S60 3rd Edition devices. Both SoonR and Nokia are industry leaders
in utilizing AJAX to improve the mobile experience.
AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), a Web development technique, improves
users’ mobile web experiences by delivering better response time, easier navigation
and a simpler interface. Nokia’s AJAX-enabled browser allows rich mobile applications
to be developed for S60 3rd Edition devices. SoonR leverages the S60 browser to
give users faster, better mobile access to their most important PC applications
and data.
“Nokia is one of the world’s leading handset manufacturers and is now providing
a fully integrated AJAX-enabled browser to users around the world,” said Martin
Frid-Nielsen, CEO of SoonR. “SoonR has been the first software developer to provide
an AJAX-enabled mobile solution. Using our two technologies together magnifies
the benefits even further for mobile business and professional users.”
"We're excited to see SoonR bringing the user experience for their innovative
solution to the next level by taking advantage of our newest browser technologies,”
said Franklin Davis, Head of Business Development, Nokia.
“SoonR taps the built-in capabilities of Nokia’s AJAX-enabled browser to provide
their users with a better, faster experience and with no additional software to
install on the handset,” said Ajit Jaokar, CEO of Futuretext and chair of Oxford
University’s Next Generation Mobile Applications Panel.
SoonR’s AJAX enabled interface will be available immediately for all S60 3rd
Edition devices as part of the SoonR service. AJAX enabled phones are automatically
detected, allowing users access to these enhanced capabilities with no action
required.
