Press Release: WindSpring, Inc., a data miniaturization innovator, announced the immediate availability of its patented Data Miniaturization Technology (DMT) for wireless applications developed for QUALCOMM’s BREW solution. The WindSpring DMT extension for BREW permanently reduces mobile phone applications into the Micro Data Format (MDF), which unlike compression, enables full data access and manipulation (including high-speed seek, search, edit and display) while miniaturized, without the need to enlarge the data to its original size.
Developers can quickly integrate the WindSpring extension to extend the functionality and performance of existing applications previously limited by phone hardware capabilities. By increasing the functionality of applications while maintaining size, developers can extend their applications to a broader range of devices while offering additional functionality. In addition, developers can significantly expand their application offerings to serve a wide range of device functions and features.
“Our DMT extension for BREW provides a quick, reliable solution for developers to enable 100 percent functionality in miniaturized data,” said Mark Arman, WindSpring’s Vice President of Marketing. “We are pleased to use BREW’s flexible extension model to support the developer community and enable them to expand their product offerings for the widest possible range of mobile devices.”
“WindSpring’s DMT extension is an interesting new offering for developers looking to create the most robust and innovative applications,” said Tom Grieco, senior director of developer relations for QUALCOMM Internet Services. “By miniaturizing data, WindSpring’s DMT creates significant additional storage capacity within devices, allowing developers to include advanced features and functions on a wider range of devices. Windspring is demonstrating the power of the BREW extension model and helping drive wireless data to the next level.”
The BREW solution drives the discovery and delivery of wireless data services. BREW customers can benefit from several offerings which include: ‘uiOne’ for integrated and dynamic user experiences with fast access to high revenue services on wireless devices; ‘deliveryOne’ for differentiated and tightly integrated, operator managed support and delivery of advanced wireless data content and services; and ‘marketOne’ for a quick-to-market, hosted, scalable content delivery service that includes media titles, flexible management and monetization, content provider settlement and business intelligence services. QUALCOMM offers this comprehensive set of BREW offerings to meet the distinct needs of companies delivering mobile products and services around the world.
About WindSpring, Inc.
WindSpring is a privately held software company headquartered in San Jose, California. The company’s new, patented Data Miniaturization Technology (DMT) reduces the data footprint of large files using a Micro Data Format (MDF) that uniquely enables the high-speed seek, search, edit and display of application data while stored in a loss-less miniaturized state. WindSpring products are ideal for space-constrained devices such as mobile phones, Smartphones, PDAs and Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) with internal memory limitations, used with Wireless, Mobile and Digital Mapping applications such as GPS navigation and remote computing, where large amounts of data often slow system performance and communications.
