Successful extension of Direct Assist from Windows Mobile to Java handsets to significantly expand market reach
Official GoConnect Press Release - 14 December 2004
GoConnect Ltd ("GoConnect") launched a revolutionary telephone directory search tool for mobile phone users of Microsoft Windows Mobile devices in August 2004, enabling these mobile phone users to search for global phone number information while on the move at a fraction of the cost of existing directory assistance services. Since the launch of Direct Assist, GoConnect has established a global network of 35 online affiliate sites that specialize in servicing mobile handset users, to market and distribute Direct Assist. Additional agreements will be finalized to add to this affiliate network. These online affiliates significantly extend the global reach and visibility that GoConnnect can achieve by itself via www.directassist.com.au. Satisfied customer feedbacks from the use of Direct Assist have been most encouraging: www.directassist.com.au/about_testimonials.shtml.
The successful launch of Direct Assist on the Windows Mobile platform provided the springboard for GoConnect to further extend this exciting utility search tool to mobile phones with other operating platforms. GoConnect is now pleased to announce that the company has successfully developed Direct Assist for Java enabled handsets with MIDP2 technology (Mobile Information Device Profile version 2). Most mobile handsets introduced to the market recently are equipped with MIDP2 and hence will be compatible with Direct Assist.
Direct Assist can now potentially work on any Java handsets with MIDP2. The First release of Direct Assist on Java handsets by early 2005 is expected to be compatible with a range of Motorola phones with MIDP2 including E398, V600, V525, V550, V620, V3, V535, V303, V300 and V303P, Nokia phones with MIDP2 including 6170, 9300, 7280, 7270, 6260, 6630, 6255, 7610, 9500, 6620, 5140, 6600, 6230, and 7700, and Sony Ericsson phones with MIDP2 including P910, K500i, Z500, K700, S700, P900, and Z1010.
The extension of Direct Assist from Windows Mobile to Java handsets and across multiple major brands and models of each brand has already attracted the interest of a number of mobile content providers and mobile phone retailers. The company is also in discussion with mobile phone retailers to bundle Direct Assist with mobile telephone plans on offer, providing a much value added service and savings to their customers. The increased interest and expanding distribution network are expected to significantly lift the sales of Direct Assist in 2005.
