Even though I usually don’t post press releases verbatim, the latest announcement from the Brazilian ISV HandCase (famous for their utterly weird press releases) struck my interest:
Handcase presents the first 60 applications for webOS
The software will be offered as a service and the web 2.0 style. “We know that we are offering something that in size, mobility and targeting has not yet been offered. We also know that it will be a nice challenge, to offer this software globally, as mobile services, but we are prepared. After all, our extensive portfolio is proof that we can. ” Ricardo Garay says CEO Handcase.
Of the 100 applications promised the Handcase presents the first 60. Page created to provide the software, it is recommended to compare the screens of products for PalmOS, so it is easy to see how they are. www.handycase.com/eng/webh.htm
The software will be offered as a subscription. Users will have the resources available as skins, encrypted security, option to mount their own mobile social networks and more. Carriers can offer unique customized versions. Users will have options to access wi-fi for free, or be signed by your carrier.
Recalling that, for those who already have or buy the version for PalmOS, version webOS is free. Garay explains. More the Handcase advance even began working with MotionApps to the compatibility of their products, with the classic, the PalmOS emulator for WebOS. Adds Ricardo Garay.
The Handcase time, will detail in the exclusive website, the beta versions of each of the first software 60, when then officially communicate the launch.
Apparently the boys at HandCase’s have decided to copy the early iPhone development approach of using rich web pages for content delivery. This allows them to keep their business logic on the server, thereby eliminating most (if not all) piracy risks.
As of now, none of the applications has been released – let’s stay tuned to see how it all works out!
