BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Viigo Inc., leading developer
of mobile application software, today announced that Microsoft has selected
Viigo's soon to be released mobile services platform (code-named Project
Tango) as one of its showcase mobile applications at the 2008 World Mobile
Congress in Barcelona.
Viigo has built a solid reputation for building an intuitive, fast, and
easy-to-use mobile RSS Reader which is currently enjoyed by thousands of
people around the world. Project Tango represents the next generation of
Viigo technology and a quantum leap forward in creating a unified, mobile
platform where users can choose, view, and manage their content and
services.
"Viigo represents the best in class when it comes to consolidating my
commonly used services," said Rick May, Marketing Manager, Mobile
Communications Business, Microsoft. "Gone are the days when I had two or
three applications. Now, Viigo has become the one application on my
Smartphone I cannot live without! Having the new flight schedules, hotel
and restaurant information and the ability to provide me insights on my
return home (such as flight status, weather, events, etc.) is simply put --
a fantastic time saver."
"By working closely with the Microsoft Windows Mobile team, we were
able to develop a platform that will give users the flexibility to
customize the way they view and consume information in an intuitive,
made-for-mobile format," said Mark Ruddock, President and CEO of Viigo.
The Viigo mobile services platform circumvents the limitations of the
mobile browser and provides companies with the fastest possible way to
mobilize content. It delivers a highly optimized wireless experience that
addresses the challenges of delivering content to mobile devices and does
so in a clean, efficient and highly engaging manner.
