Interactive mobile data solutions company weComm has revealed that it is strengthening its relationship with Symbian to enable delivery of even more compelling customer applications on Symbian OS  for the broadening Smartphone market. Symbian develops and licenses Symbian OS, the operating system that powers many of todays most popular Smartphones. The analyst IDC has predicted that cumulative sales of Smartphones will reach over 1 billion units by 2011.
The two companies have formed a deep relationship following successful projects such as the weComm-developed BSkyB Sky Anytime on Mobile, which provides a superior user experience on Symbian Smartphones to users running Java. This strategic partnership includes weComm joining the Symbian Platinum Partner Program.
weComm has proved that it has great technology and the skills to deliver exceptional consumer applications with an incredible user experience on Symbian Smartphones says Symbian VP, Market Communications, Lucinda Barlow. In fact, Sky Anytime on Mobiles remote PVR record function is the essence of the Smartphone lifestyle. weComm is one of the market-leading organisations that we recommend to media and entertainment businesses seeking the very best mobile applications.
For weComm,COO, Oliver Sturrock adds:
Having shipped over 100 million Symbian Smartphones, choosing to develop on Symbian OS is a simple decision, because it provides the volume and versatility required for content-rich, mass market applications. Using a native Symbian OS application to deliver high-quality, interactive content on phones provides accurate, responsive and feature-rich consumer experiences, which in turn helps our customers generate increased revenues.
In joining the Symbian Platinum Program, weComm joins top technology innovators and service providers in the mobile industry. weComms membership extends its collaboration with Symbian beyond the Symbian Venture Forum and Symbian Affiliate Partnership.
As a member of the Platinum Program, weComm will work with Symbian and the Symbian OS ecosystem to ensure that weComm customer solutions are seamlessly supported across multiple Symbian smartphones, and that Symbian customers using weComm applications can enjoy the optimum user experience.
