Amman, Jordan / Dubai, UAE – August 21, 2005 – Everex Systems Inc., a World-class manufacturer of servers, workstations, wireless devices, and computer systems, based in Fremont, California, entered today into a strategic alliance with Informobility, a leading Middle East-based provider of mobile and wireless products, services, and solutions. Everex has chosen Informobility's flagship Fee Jeibi Ein (FJE) series of Arabized products to bundle with its E900 Pocket PC phone distributed in the Middle East.
Under this partnership, the bundle will include the Fee Jeibi Ein Arabic support layer for Windows Mobile, on top of which a bouquet of Arabized personal applications – built by Informobility - will render the E900 "a handy mobile device that is truly for the Arab World". Each phone will include a Hijri calendar, Islamic prayer-times calendar, Holy Quran, Smart Dialer, and English-Arabic dictionary. Additionally, Everex customers will have the choice to download free trials of more Informobility products, such as the Pocket Expense Manager, Pocket Unit Converter, Pocket News Reader, pocket Weather Forecast, and Pocket Karaoke.
Informobility first entered the Microsoft-based platform of handheld computing in 2003, when it introduced the first version of FJE. The new, second version of FJE supports full Arabic synchronization with Microsoft Office and Outlook, and provides full Arabic support for Internet Explorer, MSN chat, and SMS/MMS. Other key features include an on-screen soft keyboard in Arabic, English, and Farsi, letter recognition in Arabic and Farsi, right-to-left and left-to-right alignment, and Arabic, Indian, and Farsi numerals.
"This partnership comes as recognition for our edge through continuous, innovative product development and testing over the years", states Jaffar Mansour, CEO of Informobility. "As the World's first company to have Arabized the PDA back in 1999, we have always listened so carefully to our customers. They, too, want to be mobile, and want to feel connected – in their own native language." Adds Mansour, "our portfolio of offerings to the Arab World extends beyond end-user mobile applications. We deliver mobile business solutions, such as e-Survey and e-Census solutions, sales force automation, and vehicle violation systems to large enterprises and governments. We have delivered the World's first mobile e-Census solution, proudly deployed in two Arab countries so far!"
