mobiVoip makes Voip possible on Palm

MADISON, WI, May 28, 2006:


The Palm OS platform has been a leader in handhelds since the inception of the first Palm Pilot a decade ago. From then, handhelds have come a long way as being mere personal organizers to becoming essential business tools with the ability to access the Internet or a central corporate database via a wireless connection. And thanks to MantraGroup's mobiVoip, even making calls through VoIP is just as convenient.

Palm OS offers the best selection of hardware and software, while preserving the ease of use that launched the mobile data market in the first place.Palm OS is a terrific solution for basic PIM and document use, and PalmSource's number one customer, Palm (a separate, independent company that makes hardware), has done a yeoman's job of extending it to a new line of devices with more multimedia and storage capabilities.

Palm OS as the most used in the world without a VoIP functionality was a sore thumb standing out, causing inconvenience to scores using the OS-driven devices. mobiVoIP has radically changed all of that. With mobiVoIP VoIP is not just possible but a better experience as well.

When Skype came to Pocket PC, allowing wifi-enabled PPCs to make phone calls for free over the internet, users across the globe were hoping for a PalmOS version. The good news has come in the form of the proprietary technology of MantraGroup's mobiVoIP.

Now with mobiVoIP, Palm OS's greatest strengths of running on economical devices (often with long battery life), the handiness of VoIP can be experienced for the very first time. Everybody from those on a budget, those with only basic needs, and those who want access to a host of specialized applications will be very happy with mobiVoIP on devices.
