Palm to Get MMS Applications

Electric Pocket has launched a MMS client software for users of Palm OS powered PDA's. Pixer MMS is already shipping in the Asia/Pacific region with Palm Tungsten W handhelds and is the first and only MMS solution for the Palm OS platform. Pixer MMS is specifically designed to make picture messaging easier for users, as they can take advantage of the handheld's screen and stylus when composing messages. This solution is designed to be particularly attractive for Asia/Pacific markets in which the predominant languages include graphic characters.

Users can either import photographs into Pixer MMS or choose from an extensive catalog of message templates featuring commonly used business stationery and fun cartoon characters. Pictures and photographs can be annotated directly from the device and sent to an email address or MMS enabled wireless device. Support for new multimedia, including sound and video, will become added features to Pixer MMS as host platforms and networks support them.

"Innovative multi-media features are in high demand, as the wireless handheld market continues to evolve," said Larry Berkin, director of developer marketing for PalmSource, Inc. "Pixer MMS for Palm OS is a great solution for users who demand easy multi-media messaging capabilities for their wireless Palm Powered device."

Pixer MMS is available immediately for OEM and operator deployment."
