SurfKitchen, which specialises in On-Device Portal (ODP) applications, has announced that its SurfKit Phonetop product suite is now available on BREW and RIM BlackBerry platforms. By extending its cross-platform reach, SurfKitchen says it is able to provide unrivalled mobile platform support, with its SurfKit Phonetop product suite available on feature and Smartphones across Symbian Series 60 and UIQ, Microsoft Mobile 5&6, Java J2ME MIDP2 and now BREW 3.1.15 and RIM BlackBerry platforms.
To drive the growth of mobile data services across a broadening range of devices, carriers are seeking to offer a personalized, consistent and intuitive user experience, says Surfkitchen. SurfKit Phonetop enables this, the company says, by providing a single, branded and visually engaging experience that can be deployed across a broad range of feature and Smartphones. This consistency allows carriers to build consumer confidence in accessing and consuming data services, while vastly simplifying service creation through a standard platform for application development.
There are over 3 billion mobile subscribers in the world, says SurfKitchen CEO, Michel Quazza. To significantly increase data ARPU, carriers need to be able to offer an enhanced and personalized user experience not only on high end devices, but across their entire device portfolio. This is why SurfKitchen is focused on cross-platform reach, and with BREW and RIM, we now support more device platforms than any other ODP vendor.
The addition of BREW and RIM device coverage supports SurfKitchens expansion in North America and builds on last years integration of SurfKit Phonetop with Qualcomms uiOne. SurfKitchens says the announcement reinforces its commitment to developing an intuitive, cross-platform user experience that enables mobile subscribers to quickly and easily access mobile data services, regardless of their device.
