"i-mate™ belongs to an elite breed of innovative and forward-thinking solution providers that are harnessing the power and flexibility of the Windows Mobile operating system. The platform enables a high level of customization, which means i-mate™ can deliver tailored solutions to different segments of their customer base. We're delighted to support i-mate™ on their launch into Asia, and look forward to working closely with them to expand the breadth of device choices for Windows Mobile®."

Catering to the differing requirements of customers, a variety of i-mate's latest product portfolio will be available that feature the cutting-edge mobile device technology and i-mate™'s value-added services to maximise the full potential of local networks bringing Mobile Operator content and services to life.
