Technology: Neonode to include WinWAP browser in touch screen phone

Helsinki, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Winwap Technologies Oy announced today that Neonode Inc, a world leading company specialized in optical finger based touch screen technology, will include Winwap Technologies Oy's WinWAP Browser in its uniquely designed touch screen mobile phone, Neonode N2.

Winwap's mobile Internet browser provides advanced browsing capabilities and the integrated browser adds full WAP capabilities as well as capabilities for browsing regular websites on the Internet.

"It is with great pleasure we are integrating our browser in the Neonode N2. It is our most exiting implementation made so far as it gives us a chance to show how well our browsing engine stretches to provide what is needed on a custom platform such as Neonode's where all content is accessed fast and easy," said Mikael Krogius, CEO of Winwap Technologies.

"Having our software on such a well designed and truly unique device helps us strengthen our position as a mobile application vendor for embedded platforms. The customized browser we created for Neonode is a great example of how our browser technology can be quickly adapted to provide a great user experience."

The Neonode N2 touch screen phone has no conventional hardware keys.

Browsing with WinWAP is easily done by lightly sweeping a finger on the screen in the direction the page should scroll. To select and follow a link, the screen is tapped once.

Johan Eriksson, Director of Research and Development at Neonode said: "The integration of WinWAP in the Neonode N2 was performed in a short time and with great professionalism. For us it is imperative that neno, our user interface, is always utilized to the greatest extent. The WinWAP Browser adds benefits to both users and carriers and we are very pleased to present yet another exiting upgrade of our software."

Neonode is expected to release its new software on the Company web site, www.neonode.com, in mid July 2008. The software will be free for download for all Neonode N2 users.
