Dynamic Homescreen for Ultra Low Cost Handsets
Content providers, mobile operators and device manufacturers can now develop widgets and home screens that deliver compelling services across the whole range of mobile devices, from high end feature phones to ultra-low cost handsets using a single development platform.

Content providers can publish information directly into widgets bringing new content to mobile users. Idle screen integration, combined with the real-time networked aspects of AJAX-based mobile widgets, allows subscribers to be seamlessly notified of information updates and to reach extended information through one-click access.

 

Optimised for ultra-low cost handsets

Myriad Dynamic Homescreen combines Myriad Jbed™ native compilation technology with USSD browsing to deliver networked services on ultra-low cost mobile phones. It is tightly integrated for the most constrained devices, starting from ARM7 50MHz chipset with very low memory footprint (under 1MB ROM/RAM).

Reaching all devices through USSD

The widgets can be dynamically updated through a range of data connections, including HTTP, SMS and most importantly USSD, a basic data service compatible with all GSM phones. Connecting via USSD enables the delivery of entry level data services, such as weather, crop prices and local news to any handset.

Deployed Quickly and Easily

Thanks to Myriad Widget Development Kit, widget creation is very simple. The widgets as well as the widget player client can be downloaded over the air, thereby enabling handset manufacturers to give a new life to low end and mainstream devices, and mobile operators to easily deploy their applications and services on existing devices.
