Amoi Mobile selects TTPCom's AJAR for multiplatform in feature phones

XIAMEN, P.R. China and CAMBRIDGE, UK -- October 20, 2005 --TTPCom and Amoi Mobile today announce that Amoi has licensed TTPCom's AJAR applications platform for the development of a future range of new cellular devices. AJAR will enable Amoi to develop a single suite of applications that can be used for multiple different handsets - from entry level to high end feature phones, across multiple technologies - GSM, GPRS, EDGE or 3G; and across multiple hardware platforms. As a result, Amoi will benefit from accelerated time to market and the ability to customise handsets to meet the requirements of market segments in China and to meet the needs of international operators.

Since its establishment in 2003, Amoi Mobile has grown to achieve an eight per cent share of the highly competitive Chinese market by delivering handsets with innovative features, applications and user experience. AJAR will enable Amoi to rapidly develop new user interface concepts and deploy them on multiple hardware platforms. In addition, AJAR's flexibility allows development teams to choose different combinations of application processors and baseband chipsets depending on the device requirements, substantially reducing development costs per handset.
