Greenlight Wireless signs deal with Plaxo, Inc.
Development is underway to "Plaxo-enable" the
award-winning Skweezer service, providing access to the fastest-growing contact
management software and network.
IRVINE, Calif., September 14, 2004 -- Greenlight Wireless Corporation today
announced signing a deal with Plaxo, Inc. to integrate the popular Plaxo contact
management application into Skweezer. By doing so, Skweezer customers will
benefit from having their address books synchronized with the Plaxo Network,
giving them anytime, anywhere access to the most up-to-date contact information
for their friends, family and colleagues.
Greenlight Wireless is developing a simple and easy-to-use interface to the
Plaxo Network that is ideally suited for use on handheld devices, as it has a
small bandwidth footprint and support for a wide range of platforms and devices.
Plaxo functionality will be a key feature in Skweezer's suite of wireless
productivity tools, allowing users to view contacts and address messages in
Skweezer's mail utility and upcoming SMS and instant messaging components.
Plaxo, like Skweezer, has the added benefit of being "portable", meaning users
can freely access their Plaxo contacts through Skweezer, even if they change
their device or wireless data plan. Plaxo's newly released API (application
program interface) promises to create a truly seamless integration of the two
applications.
Greenlight Wireless' Skweezer product is a Web-based service that allows users
to reformat Web content for wireless-enabled handheld devices, such as mobile
phones and PDAs. Customers use the Skweezer portal at
www.skweezer.net as a wireless gateway to
browse the Internet with Greenlight Wireless' compression and optimization
technology. Upcoming releases of Skweezer will incorporate a suite of messaging,
search, shopping, and personal information management (PIM) tools.
