Neonode (News - Alert) Inc, a company that deals in optical finger-based touch-screen technology, will reportedly include Winwap Technologies Oy’s WinWAP Browser in its touch screen mobile phone, Neonode N2, officials revealed today.

 

The mobile Internet browser from Winwap Technologies provides advanced browsing capabilities and the integrated browser adds full WAP capabilities as well as capabilities for browsing regular Websites on the Internet, according to the Neonode. The Neonode N2 has no conventional hardware keys, and browsing with WinWAP is done by lightly sweeping a finger on a screen in the direction the page should scroll. Users have to tap the screen once to select and follow a link.

 

Neonode officials say the company intends to release its new software on its Web site next month. All Neonode N2 users can download the software for free, they say.

 

Mikael Krogius, chief executive officer of Winwap Technologies, said that having Neonode’s software on such a well-designed device helps Winwap strengthen its position as a mobile application vendor for embedded platforms. The customized browser Winwap created for Neonode is an example of how their browser technology can be quickly adapted to improve user experience, Krogius said.

 

Director of research and development at Neonode, Johan Eriksson, said that integration of WinWAP in the Neonode N2 was performed in a short time and with great professionalism. Eriksson said that for his company, it’s imperative that “neno,” its user interface, is used as much as possible.

 

“The WinWAP Browser adds benefits to both users and carriers and we are very pleased to present yet another exiting upgrade of our software,” Eriksson said.
