mobivention creates Widget application for Sunrise in Switzerland

Cologne, Germany– 1 February 2010 – mobivention GmbH has produced a widget application for Sunrise Communications AG in Zurich, Switzerland. This widget is offering a direct connection with the Joylife Handy Fun portal for Nokia S60 smartphones.

Sunrise end consumers can discover and download a large range of mobile en-tertainment products like music, ringtones, mobile games and mobile themes for their phones in the Joylife Handy Fun portal. These products can be ordered and paid directly from the portal. Interested end consumers can get to this portal directly from the home screen of their mobile phones. This functionality makes the portal accessible within one click and the complicated navigation via the menu is by-passed.

Apart from that the widget has an update functionality available which enables the search and download newer versions of the application. With this update functionality changes in the portal can easily take place. This is also advanta-geous compared to existing On-Device portals, which have once been pre-loaded to the phone and cannot be updated in the future.

“With mobivention GmbH we have found an experienced partner for the integration of the widget application on the leading smartphone devices” says Product Manager Simon Herrmann of Sunrise. “mobivention is well grounded in the development of mobile portals and widget applications. mobivention has been a reliable and trustworthy partner,” Simon Hermann adds.

Dr. Hubert Weid, CEO of mobivention: “The demand for widget applications and mobile portals is increasing rapidly. With the creation of numerous widgets, wap specials and mobile portals mobivention is well experienced and always up-to-date. We are pleased that we could support Sunrise with our experience and technical know-how.”

Based on the actual demand mobivention is considerably increasing its resources for the development and creation of widgets and mobile portals. Currently several projects are realized in parallel and mobivention is looking forward to new clients for this area.
