He mentioned the case of Teleca and OpenWave. But perhaps one thing unknown to him is a UK browser company that is making waves in Japan. They recently launched their browser with NTT DoCoMo.

In fact I can vounch that Nokia, Apple and even Opera are blatant copy-cats. Just google the history of Picsel and you would find out more about their technology as early as 2000. Those were the dinosaurs age for mobile browser, the inept WAP was the choice for carriers. Now, the floodgate has opened, WAP propoents like OpenWAVE, Teleca are dying and up for sale, welcome to the world of un-tethered internet access, any devices, anywhere.

Opera already had Motorola and Sony-Ericsson as clients, but the last few months Samsung, HTC and (this week) Palm have all announced deals with Opera.

new stuff .. Yes, we always had browsing mechanisms ‚Äì but not rich enough for customers to be interested in(and consequently pay for). Look what happened to OpenWave .. when it missed a wave ..
