SurfKitchen, a provider of On-Device Portal (ODP) applications, has announced that its SurfKit Phonetop product suite is available on BREW and RIM BlackBerry platforms. SurfKit Phonetop product suite is now available on feature and smart phones across Symbian Series 60 and UIQ, Microsoft Mobile 5&6, Java J2ME MIDP2 and now BREW 3.1.15 and RIM BlackBerry platforms.
According to SurfKitchen, 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. SurfKit Phonetop is claimed to enable this by providing a single, branded and visually engaging experience that can be deployed across a broad range of feature and smart phones. 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, says the company.
"There are over 3 billion mobile subscribers in the world", said Michel Quazza, chief executive officer, SurfKitchen. "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."
