PARIS, Dec. 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Miyowa announced today that it has successfully launched the WAP version of its mobile instant messaging technology -- MoveMessenger(TM) -- at Far EasTone(FET), a few weeks after the rebranding of the i-mode portal to Windows Live Messenger(TM).
The six million WAP and i-mode FET's customers can access Windows Live Messenger(TM) from their mobile phones. Miyowa provides FET with a turnkey solution, including the Windows Live Messenger(TM) certified application, billing connectivity and the design and build of the WAP interface, where end-users can download the messenger.
"FET appreciates to be the first and the only operator to launch MSN messenger service in Taiwan. After launching the i-mode version in February and win acceptance from our customers, lots of non i-mode customers also ask for similar service. We got the fully support from Miyowa and finally launched our J2ME version. I am here to represent FET and deliver our thanks to Miyowa who provides this technology for the benefit of our customers. I also believe that there will be more cooperation with Miyowa in the future to bring in more new technology and service to Taiwan's customers" said Roger Chen, Director of Business Strategy & Marketing of Far EasTone.
"The fast and easy deployment to the WAP platform shows how universal and adaptive our solution is. We are very happy of this launch at Far EasTone. After Starhub in Singapore, Taiwan is an important new step in Asia, which will help supporting our development in this region of the world." said Pascal Lorne, CEO of Miyowa.
Thanks to the close relationships of Miyowa with the major Instant Messaging PC brands, the MoveMessenger(TM) technology relies on the biggest existing communities and seamlessly extends the familiar PC Instant Messenger to the mobile environment, helping operators not create their communities from scratch!
Miyowa delivers its solution in one new country per month and has today 15 mobile operator customers in Europe, Asia and Australia for Instant Messaging services and also for entertainment content delivery.
