Microsoft Selects Viigo to Demonstrate the Power of the Windows Mobile Platform
BARCELONA, Spain – February 13, 2008 – Viigo Inc., leading developer of mobile application software, today announced that Microsoft has selected Viigo’s soon to be released mobile services platform (code-named Project Tango) as one of its showcase mobile applications at the 2008 World Mobile Congress in Barcelona.
Viigo has built a solid reputation for building an intuitive, fast, and easy-to-use mobile RSS Reader which is currently enjoyed by thousands of people around the world. Project Tango represents the next generation of Viigo technology and a quantum leap forward in creating a unified, mobile platform where users can choose, view, and manage their content and services.
“Viigo represents the best in class when it comes to consolidating my commonly used services,” said Rick May, Marketing Manager, Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft. “Gone are the days when I had two or three applications. Now, Viigo has become the one application on my Smartphone I cannot live without! Having the new flight schedules, hotel and restaurant information and the ability to provide me insights on my return home (such as flight status, weather, events, etc.) is simply put - a fantastic time saver.”
“By working closely with the Microsoft Windows Mobile team, we were able to develop a platform that will give users the flexibility to customize the way they view and consume information in an intuitive, made-for-mobile format,” said Mark Ruddock, President and CEO of Viigo.
The Viigo mobile services platform circumvents the limitations of the mobile browser and provides companies with the fastest possible way to mobilize content.
