TOKYO, Feb. 22 /Xinhua/ -- Aplix Corporation announced today that its JBlend platform is included in BenQ-Siemens' S88, one of the first mobile phones introduced under the dual brand.
After the purchase of Siemens' handset division in 2005, BenQ has been working with Aplix to develop a series of phone models under the new BenQ-Siemens brand. The first such phone model, the S88, uses the JBlend platform and complies with Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI(TM)) 1.0 (JSR-185). JBlend will also be deployed in several other phone models that are currently under development.
"We have a successful history of supporting BenQ on diverse mobile phone projects," said Wesley Kuo, President and CSO of Aplix. "Our goal is to continue to utilize the industry leading features of JBlend to benefit BenQ."
As the first-to-market enabler, Aplix has been trusted by global operators and handset manufacturers to fulfill their desired Java specifications. The JBlend platform has already been deployed on over 150 million mobile devices around the world. Aplix continues its innovative efforts to contribute to the development of consumer products that are even more appealing and easier to use than those we have today.
