Winwap Technologies' Applications Available for all SiRF's SoC Customers


HELSINKI, June 17 /PRNewswire/ --     Winwap Technologies Oy, specialist in providing mobile Internet browsers
(WAP) and multimedia messaging (MMS) software announced today that it is
cooperating with SiRF Technology Holdings Inc, a world leader in location
technology, to make Winwap's software applications available to SiRF's
customers. SiRF will promote Winwap Applications that include WinWAP Browser,
MMS Client and Unified Inbox for their customers who use SiRF's SoC platforms
for GPS enabled connected devices.

SiRF's customers with WAP and MMS client will be able to use Winwap
applications at attractive terms and prices. Winwap will provide technical
support for SiRF and its customers and continue to develop and keep the
applications up to date. Winwap Applications are available for WinCE-based
platforms from Microsoft.

"We are proud to have SiRF promote our applications that we have been
integrating and customizing since 2005. Our applications are very mature and
ready for deployment on the market, which is a benefit for SiRF's high
performance and cost-effective SoC solutions," says Mikael Krogius, CEO of
Winwap Technologies Oy. "As an example, the WAP protocol stack used by the
WinWAP Browser and MMS Client is designed to be deeply embedded into
SiRF-powered connected handheld device solutions when Winwap applications are
present on the system, and allows other applications on the platform to use
the API for any data transport needed over wireless networks."

"We are looking forward to continue to develop and expand our cooperation
with Winwap. By enabling Winwap's software applications availability for our
customers we can offer them innovative products and realize the promise of
location and wireless connectivity in mobile devices," says David Wang,
Senior Marketing Director, SiRF Technologies Holdings.

"With this cooperation, we will strengthen our foothold on the mobile
software market and continue to expand our clientele," says Mikael Krogius,
CEO of Winwap Technologies. "The market for mobile software applications that
Winwap offers is expanding rapidly due to reasons like WinCE-based platforms
becoming more and more popular. Today's consumer will not buy a networked
mobile device that does not include a browser and multimedia messaging."

SiRF will promote the Winwap Applications to customers using their new
SoC (System on Chip) products with integrated GPS for connected devices,
which offer best location performance along with fluid user experience on
navigation operations as well as other smart phone applications such as
Web/Wap browsing.
