Narrow Vision
We’ve always believed that as smartphones and smartphone technology dominated the mobile landscape there’s an opportunity for some software – built in the right (flexible) way, provided at the right cost – to help ordinary people leverage all that embedded technology to create simple applications and services that ‘do a job’. We think of this as a third ‘application-way’ that provides native app functionality and HTML5 convenience. Smartphones, Device Management customisation and Friendly User tests are just the beginning. Tomorrow’s world means Machine2Machine, SetTopBox, the internet of things… and supporting all those device variations needs something flexible and simple.
