Movial Launches Internet Experience Suite for Linux Device Manufacturers



SANTA CLARA, Calif.-- Movial, the company that inspires rich, intuitive Internet experiences, today announced it has been selected by ARM (LSE: ARM; Nasdaq: ARMHY) to create a Linux platform to help mobile device companies very quickly and easily create next-generation mobile applications. Movial and ARM will offer the Linux software platform free to device manufacturers around the world, and will unveil the platform at the ARM Developers’ Conference this week. Movial also announced it is launching Movial IXS (Internet Experience Suite), an application suite for custom-branded user interfaces for Linux-based connected devices.

Under the agreement between ARM and Movial, the companies are to provide device manufacturers with tools that enable quick market launches of new devices boasting Internet connectivity for browsing, communications, entertainment, and navigation. The partnership aims to improve existing open source projects focused on the Internet experience, and the use of technologies, including Gnome Mobile, for application framework and the Mozilla browser technology. The co-developed Linux platform enables device manufacturers to create products using generally-available open source software with a product line approach.

“ARM’s connected mobile computing program helps companies bring connected devices to market more quickly and thus drive consumer choice,” said Mike Inglis, executive vice president of sales and marketing at ARM. “Movial experts know the mobile Internet experience inside and out, and we look forward to working with them closely to enable significant innovation and growth in this sector.”

Movial’s Internet Experience Suite (IXS) provides a framework to create a highly-customized, branded user interface as a point of differentiation for device manufacturers, significantly enhancing the mobile Internet user experience.

“We are delighted to support ARM’s significant push to improve the mobile Internet experience,” said Tomi Rauste, president of Movial Creative Technologies. “With the free Linux platform we are creating, and Movial’s Internet Experience Suite, device manufacturers can quickly and easily create new, differentiated products with highly-desirable, custom developed user interfaces.”

Device manufacturers and operators rely on Movial’s creative and custom consulting services to help increase ROI and streamline and speed product development utilizing open Linux platforms and ready-to-use applications. A pioneer in mobile Linux-based solutions, Movial harnesses its extensive understanding of mobile user behavior to design personalized user experiences, from device concept and interface design, to systems integration, third-party application integration, and product maintenance and support. The company’s rich and robust Internet Experience Suite is available as a white-label service to device manufacturers and operators worldwide.

Movial Creative Technologies President Tomi Rauste will deliver a number of presentations at the ARM Developers’ Conference, Oct. 2-4, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif. Movial will unveil its new Linux platform on Oct. 3 at 6:00 p.m. PDT and 7:00 p.m. PDT, and Oct. 4 from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. PDT, in the Mobile Computing Design Center Pavilion (booth 701) at the convention center.
