iNFOiSLIVE to Give Out Mobile Office Server Software For Free

iNFOiSLIVE Corporation Ltd, a leading wireless application developer with head office in Hong Kong, announced today that its mobile office server software, mOFFY, is publicly available for free.

mOFFY, standing for "mobile office", is a Web and WAP cross-platform personal information manager (PIM). Its features include email, scheduler, contact list, bookmark, to-do list, notes, and email/schedule alert via short message service (SMS). mOFFY is currently used by Peoples phone, Hongkong.com and eDirect in Taiwan to support their clients in emails and other information management on wireless.

mOFFY is now copyrighted by the General Public License (GPL), the same protection license that Linux has. Under this license, mOFFY is available for free to the public in source code format, so that mobile operators and corporations are able to conduct further development to enhance the functionality; and when they do, they are required to incorporate the improvements into mOFFY. As a result, mOFFY will be ever-improving, just as Linux is, and iNFOiSLIVE will be able to offer better, yet cheaper, mobile office solutions.

"With mOFFY, corporations and mobile operators can provide mobile phone and PC synchronized emails, schedule and contacts to their users at minimal costs," said Kin Ko, Founder and CEO of iNFOiSLIVE. "We put in our hours to make mOFFY possible, and now we are happy to share the fruit with the wireless application developers all over the world."

Since mOFFY was made available on March 14, more than 440 copies have been downloaded from different parts of the world.

With a similar objective to promote mobile application development, iNFOiSLIVE will also open up iNFOiSLIVE Java Libraries in Q2 this year. The libraries consist of ready-made components to handle graphics, database, sessions, etc., and will be free for non-commercial use.
