KANSAS CITY, MO — (April 15, 2005) — Handmark®, the leading developer and publisher of content for smart mobile devices, announced today that its Pocket Express® wireless information suite has landed the #4 spot on Larry Becker’s list of “The Top 10 Treo 650 Accessories.” The review, which appeared April 13 on MobileTracker (www.mobiletracker.net), a prominent blog site for cell phone product news and information, cites the “one interface, many programs” utility of Pocket Express along with its strong cost-saving advantages.
Becker, a frequent blogger on MobileTracker, is one of the nation’s leading technology commentators. As an author, technology trainer, and writer who also produces popular Palm Treo training videos, Becker is a frequently quoted critic who consults for many prominent organizations and consumer products companies.
In his article on “The Top 10 Treo 650 Accessories,” Becker points out the usefulness of Pocket Express for users of Palm’s Treo 650 smartphone. “Weather, news, sports, stocks, movies, and more are available as information that has been optimized for your Treo’s screen,” he noted. “You set up the programming and your smartphone will automatically retrieve your news, stocks, etc. every day.”
Becker also notes the “amazing” ability of Pocket Express to generate maps and 411-style directory information. “This is an indispensable ‘Swiss Army Knife’ for your Treo’s data service and if you use your carrier’s 411 service regularly, you’ll save a ton,” he stated.
Pocket Express is Handmark’s award-winning service bundle for wireless phones and mobile device platforms. Pocket Express provides up-to-the-minute information, yet does not require a mobile web browser to operate. Its non-browser technology means information is delivered up to 30 times faster than browser-based information services and with up to 80% fewer keystrokes.
“Pocket Express continues to take the wireless industry by storm as the best, most complete and cost-effective wireless news and information service,” said Douglas Edwards, Handmark co-founder and executive vice president. “Reviewers, industry experts, editors as well as the general public have all embraced Pocket Express for its power and ease of use.”
The number one rated “accessory” for the new Treo was the critically acclaimed new Audi A6 equipped with Bluetooth technology to communicate with the Treo.
