Comverse Unveils Solutions for Mobile Internet Devices at Mobile World Congress.Feb 23, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Comverse introduced its latest communications applications, Converged Messaging, and an offering for a centralized social address book at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "Comverse's personalized communication services take full advantage of the Intel Atom processor's media processing capabilities," said Daphna Steinmetz, Chief Innovation Officer at Comverse, a supplier of software and systems enabling messaging and content services, converged billing and active customer management, and IP communications. "This successful synergy helps redefine the socialization possibilities on a mobile device." With Comverse's Converged Messaging, a single device and user interface can retrieve messages from various sources, including fixed-line messages (voicemail and videomail), mobile messages (MMS, SMS, voicemail and videomail) and the ISPs (email messages). Comverse also unveiled a social address list, which organizes all contacts and their multiple addresses into the phone's address book. Comverse organizes all the information with geographical location, availability and other facts. "An enriched address book encourages mobile users to reach out more often with contacts in any social community," Steinmetz said. "As a result, subscribers may make more phone calls or send more messages, all of which helps drive revenues for carriers," "Mobile Internet Devices are rapidly expected to become the personal information console for users having ready access to their address book and voicemails," said Pankaj Kedia, director of global ecosystem programs in Intel's Ultra Mobility Group. "The performance and compatibility of Intel Atom processor-based Mobile Internet Devices, combined with Comverse's communication services running on a Linux-based Moblin software platform, is expected to deliver an outstanding Internet and media experience to consumers wherever they go."
