Diwan is pleased to announce the launch of its Oannïs system at GITEX 2005 in Dubai

It combines the best of print and electronic documents.

The browser will show you the page as it would have been printed and then lets you click down through to the articles and read the articles in a format comfortable on the small screen of the phone. All with the design and a style that is expected from paper editions.

News is delivered direct to your device without the need to browse web pages or the complexity of synchronizing through a desktop computer. Just run Oannïs on your palm-top, get the latest news, and read.

Adil Allawi, the technical director of Diwan Software Limited adds:"Oannïs represents the new generation of mobile application. You do not need to read the Financial Times to know that mobile computing will revolution the way people communicate. However, like the Internet, it needs a new generation of applications and devices to exploit this new medium.

Oannïs combines the best features of the printed newspaper and the mobile Internet device. You can browse the same way you would a newspaper to see all that is important for the day and read articles properly formatted for the screen of the device. Yet it keeps you fully informed by downloading new information as it becomes available.

Mobile user should not have to deal with the complexity of synchronization with a desktop computer or the inconsistence of different web sites. I believe Oannïs bridges the gap between the mobile professional and the information he needs."

The service is being launched delivering news updated daily from AME Info and the BBC. A selection of newspapers and magazines will become available shortly after Gitex.

Diwan is exhibiting at stand C8-1 in Hall 8 at Gitex Dubai.
