Dashwire™ Launches “Dashwire S60″ – First Service to Maximize Convergence of Mobile and Web Worlds for Symbian OS™ mobile phones

The Symbian Smartphone Show, London, UK — 21 October 2008 — Dashwire, Inc. announced today that it is making its award-winning Connected Service available for S60 3rd Edition mobile phones based on Symbian OS™, including those from Nokia, Samsung and LG, opening the door to over 85 million additional users around the world looking to effortlessly connect their mobile phones with their computers and the web.

“When you consider the overall market share held by Symbian in the smartphone space, the types of innovative phones being built by Symbian licensees such as the Nokia N96 and the Samsung INNOV8, and the alignment between how these phones are being used and how a mobile-web service like Dashwire can integrate with them seamlessly to help users get even more out of their experiences – then it becomes clear why supporting Symbian’s open platform was such a key priority for us,” said Ford Davidson, founder and CEO of Dashwire.

Bringing Mobile Experiences to Life

Dashwire’s service automatically synchronizes the contacts, text messages, calls, photos, videos, and settings from the phone to a private, cloud-based Dashwire account, helping users stay connected to the information they need and the people and social networks they want to stay in touch with.

Content instantly transfers between the phone and the web without requiring any user interaction – ensuring users have access to the most up-to-date information while mobile or when online using Dashwire’s elegant web-application designed to deliver a desktop-like experience.

The result is that Dashwire makes it easy for users do things like backup and sync phone contacts, send text messages from the web, share photos and videos captured on the phone with friends and social sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and more, access their media stored in the cloud while mobile, configure their phones from the web, and easily transfer content from one phone to the next.

It’s also constantly evolving, with Dashwire today announcing the launch of an Application Storefront, a revamped Address Book featuring a history of communications by contact, and a number of releases making it even easier to share media with friends and social networks.

“Connected Services like Dashwire are transforming how people experience mobility. When you have a single solution that opens up powerful new ways to interact with your information as it effortlessly flows between your phone, the web, and your social networks, then you enable the phone to play a more central role in connecting people, and you start redefining expectations of what’s possible when mobile,” said Davidson.

Possibilities that, in particular, come to life on Symbian OS mobile phones.

“Dashwire is a key member of the Symbian Partner Network, having developed an exceptionally advanced and integrated Connected Service on Symbian OS,” said Mike Whittingham, Vice President of Ecosystem Development, Symbian. “It’s exciting to think about the types of connected experiences the Dashwire service will enable as more and more people expect to be able to easily share media across their favorite web portals via their mobile phones. The Dashwire service is a testament to the innovation made possible through our open platform.”

Dashwire will be rolling out its private beta for Symbian OS phones based on S60 starting in November, offering support for devices like the Nokia N96, N95, E71, LG KS10, and Samsung INNOV8.
