Munich, 24.9.2003– In time for the Palm Source Conference in Munich, Germany, WebToGo released a new version of the Mobile Internet Solution, its flagship software. Version 4.1 will allow the user to view PDF and Word documents through the browser. As these documents are converted to HTML, mobile download speeds are dramatically increased. In addition the new version supports CDMA for PalmOS Smartphones, as well as the Tungsten W. A new version for Pocket PC 2003 is also available. Version 4.1 is ready for download from www.webtogoeurope.com.

WebToGo has made some serious improvements to its proprietary server-side optimisation technology: The browser now offers document rendering and improved frame support:

A large amount of information on the Web is packaged in Word and PDF documents and therefore inaccessible via mobile browsers. WebToGo users can now make use of this content. The improved optimisation server translates documents into HTML and displays the content in the browser. The transformation is done automatically and does not require any user input, but gives the user the option to browse page by page. A typical document is compressed by the server to 25% of the original data volume, thereby greatly increasing download speed and value for money and thus directly addressing the two main concerns of today’s mobile internet users.

Furthermore, until now frames could not or only unsatisfactorily be displayed on handheld browsers. No longer. The WebToGo Optimisation Server mirrors the layout of a frames page, displaying enough content in each frame to allow the user to decide which frame to open.

Both features are entirely server-based and do not require a software upgrade on the client.

More Platforms:
To this date, only GSM network users could utilize WebToGo. This left 60 million American and 150 million CDMA users worldwide sidelined. WebToGo 4.1 for Palm OS closes this gap and covers Treo 300, Samsung and Kyocera CDMA Smartphones. In a further step to offer solutions to the US market the Tungsten W is now covered.

Further Improvements:
In order to make WebToGo compatible with new developments in the PDA market, WebToGo now supports Pocket PC 2003. On the Palm OS side there is a revised Email client that uses significantly less memory. The entire package now supports high-resolution TFT screens and has been optically redesigned. Components of the Palm OS package can now be stored to memory cards.
