GeoMicro Provides Mapping for Handmark Express™
http://express.handmark.com
Handmark Express™ is a wireless information service for Smartphones (Palm OS and Windows Mobile) as well as PDAs with WiFi and an Internet connection. Handmark, a developer and publisher of software for smart mobile devices, created Express as a wireless information application to accelerate delivery of the information most in demand by a mobile generation. According to Handmark vice president Douglas Edwards, “even if there were no constraints on bandwidth, viewing web pages through a tiny two inch screen is a less than satisfactory experience. Express is an application that talks directly to Handmark servers for an optimum user experience, it’s faster, easier and does much more than try to squeeze a service designed for desktops onto a handheld screen. Express was created specifically for the mobile device. It’s much more than just better than browsing, Express makes smartphones smarter.”
