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.
