Airwide Hosts Discussion on Mobile Messaging 2.0 – Named Official Blog of Global Messaging Congress 2007

Industry experts convene for intense discussion and debate on future of mobile messaging.

READING, U.K. and BURLINGTON, Mass., 22 May, 2007 — Airwide Solutions, the leading provider of mobile messaging infrastructure and applications, today announced that the company is sponsoring an independent industry blog on Mobile Messaging 2.0 at www.mobilemessaging2.com

Editorially produced and managed by Corante, the world's first blog media company, the blog focuses on mobile messaging and counts among its contributors some of the industry's keenest observers, commentators, and prognosticators. Also worth noting: it is a “hosted discussion,” a bold experiment by a growing number of companies to sponsor editorially independent conversations around the respective company's industry or category.

Contributors to the blog are the top tier intellectuals and achievers from the mobile-related blog space across Europe and North America including Imran Ali, Nancy Broden, Ajit Jaokar, Debi Jones, Helen Keegan, Darla Mack, Ewan Spence, Chetan Sharma, Russell Shaw, Oliver Starr, Daniel Taylor, and Emily Turrettini. In the blog and related editorial offerings, the group will explore how the landscape of mobile messaging is evolving in the face of rapid technological change and innovation.

Included in the topics and themes these insightful experts will explore are:

· The future of mobile messaging

· Mobile messaging technologies, platforms and devices

· Innovation in SMS and MMS

· Emerging mobile messaging-based applications and more

Vince Kadar, chief technology officer at Airwide Solutions comments: "The mobile messaging market, like many others, is in a perpetual state of change, with phenomenal growth that has taken directions few could have predicted. What started a few years ago as the emergence of ground-breaking market shifts is now coalescing into a new vision for using and enabling mobile messaging technology –– Mobile Messaging 2.0."

The Airwide-sponsored blog has already been appointed the official blog of Global Messaging Congress 2007, being held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo, June 5-6 2007. The Mobile Messaging 2.0 blog will provide real-time analysis, podcasts and snapshots of the most important and buzzworthy developments at the show, which is internationally recognized as the world's most important messaging event.
