Volantis Systems announced that its device information library has reached 6,000 devices. With more and more people choosing to access the Internet from their mobile handsets, there's an ever greater need for Internet software which can react and adapt to the changing device landscape.

Volantis has incorporated Web 2.0 capabilities into many of their products, including its open source Mobility Server, Ubik.com and the "Social" Storefront.

Highlights include:

  • Site Building Applications - Volantis launched both Ubik.com and Site Builder in 2008. The Ubik.com platform is a free web-based service that focuses on helping consumers and small businesses build mobile websites without any technical knowledge or training. Site Builder takes the same platform and offers service providers the ability to provide their customers with a way to build personal mobile sites.
  • Mobile Enterprise Software - With the BuzzCast Solution for Apple's iPhone and Google Android, Volantis provides mobile subscribers with a way to brand mobile content feeds. This is the first Volantis-built on-device application for mobile devices. Feed Builder leverages BuzzCast as a web-based platform that allows mobile subscribers to manage, aggregate and design their own mobile information and content feeds. Also in 2008, Volantis launched the "Social" Storefront, which connects mobile subscribers directly with Facebook.
  • Open Source Development Tools - Volantis open source Mobility Server allows web developers to build and run their own mobile Internet applications, expanding the mobile platform. The latest release of Mobility Server, version 5.1, brings easy integration of Google Picasa, Yahoo! Flickr and Google Docs to its mobile development framework, which now supports over 6,000 devices.
