VodacomWorld Online will demonstrate a series of mobile solutions for the Internet at Computer Faire.
World Online and Ericsson South Africa will jointly demonstrate a new free wireless Internet service that speeds-up Web page downloads by up to five times.
According to World Online`s managing director Graeme Victor, mobile Internet users can now experience faster Web page downloads, browsing and e-mail over a wireless connection, drastically reducing call charges.
"World Online WebOnAir enables laptop users connecting to the Internet via their mobile phone, to now customise the quality and quantity of information they download from the Internet. This will reduce the amount of data downloaded by up to 86%, resulting in higher data transfer speeds," he explains.
SpeechMail, available from World Online subscribers (which includes Yebo, Icon and GIA), is a new service from World Online enabling subscribers to listen to e-mail messages over the phone, without ever needing to switch on their computer.
Subscribers can access an existing e-mail account from any telephone, anywhere, at any time. They can listen to messages, even reply to them using voice commands without having to type in replies when on the move.
As an alternative to seeing text and graphics on a cellphone screen, SpeechTML enables users to now dial a GSM number to access content such as news, sport and weather from the World Online portal using voice prompts.
Experts will be on hand to demonstrate all aspects of these products and get subscribers up and running within minutes. And if you are not a World Online subscriber, visit the stand to register - Hall 5, stand number A16.
