iSkoot added Twitter support to its
Kalaida mobile services platform, which can deliver real-time Internet
functionality to almost any handset sold today.
iSkoot's Kalaida platform
lets consumer handsets connect to Twitter and other communications
tools the way PCs do: all at once and in real time. A single sign-in
activates all services to keep the experience simple while preserving
handset resources and battery life.
"The Kalaida platform works with today's devices and networks to
make even the simplest handsets smarter," said Mark Jacobstein, CEO of
iSkoot. "We designed Kalaida to incorporate new services as quickly
audiences engage with them, and we're very pleased to now make mobile
access even easier for the millions of people who actively use Twitter
worldwides soon and supporting more handsets, including BlackBerry.
Other services enabled on the Kalaida platform include full-time,
real-time connection to social networks, personal e-mail, instant
messaging, and leading news, sports, and entertainment feeds. Kalaida
delivers a full spectrum of Internet services to a single live screen
on the handset, eliminating the need for users to open a browser or
application to access one service at a time. All services are delivered
over available data connections, without requiring 3G or WiFi for
optimal performance.
The iSkoot Kalaida platform currently supports more than 20 handsets
from leading manufacturers including LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and
SonyEricsson, with more to be announced this year.
