WASHINGTON DC, 22 July 2003 — Information Appliances International has entered the market for Microsoft platform handheld devices by introducing its first product for that operating system — Arabic Pocket PC OS (APPCOS) — code named “Fee Jeibi Ein.” IAI is working toward strategic alliances with Pocket PC device vendors to bundle IAI’s solutions with their devices in the Middle East and North Africa.
The APPCOS platform is an open software architecture for Arabic handheld computing that provides an ideal basis for third-party developers to create and deliver successful mobile computing solutions in Arabic.
The announcement of the APPCOS platform comes two years after IAI introduced its Arabic Palm OS. This month APOS 5 becomes available. For information click to ia-intl.com.
