Alltel's Celltop Technology
By: AERON LEGASPI
Alltel EVDO phones are now equipped with Calltel software. A widget platform for Alltel EVDO phones and other mobile devices as well, that provides a small amount of insight into the design. Just as desktop widgets had provided PC users with simple navigation in the face of expansive content, frog and Alltel agreed to create a platform for widgets in the mobile space. Giving Alltel EVDO phones another edge against its competitors, the basic idea is to put customer’s favorite functions and information front and center with one click of the Celltop icon on the bottom of the phone’s main screen. Once pressed, the application loads as many as 20 customized “cells”, displaying them two at a time, adjacent with each other. The choices include categories such as news, weather and stocks, as well as more personal interests such as ringtones and individual sports, ranging from basketball to skiing. This allows Alltel EVDO phone users to manage and have easy access to their important files, from personal stocks to the SMS inbox, from local weather to the latest sports score. Rather than forcing consumers to scroll menus, type search items and await connection, Celltop would bring this information to Alltel EVDO phones. evdomanuals.com
