November 13, 2008
LOS ANGELES - NOVEMBER 13, 2008 - With the recent presidential election in the Unites States, Kenya has jumped into the spotlight, gaining much attention from around the world. Now Kenyans are about to gain greater access to the rest of the world.
Mobile-XL announced today that its XLBrowser will be released to Cellulant's Kenyan-based customers. Starting November 14, download links for the XLBrowser will be sent to 200,000 Cellulant customers via SMS.
Ken Njoroge, CEO of Cellulant commented, "The XLBrowser mobile phone application provides our customers with a simple browser where they can access our wide variety of mobile content. Everything is available to them easily, instantly and best of all, affordably. We also see the XLBrowser as a unique way to deliver all our mobile content services including Ringtones and other multimedia products.""
"We expect the XLBrowser to be particularly valuable in Kenya, where internet and WAP technologies remain limited, unreliable, and expensive. This release helps to put Kenyans at par with access to information currently available in many other parts of the world," said Guy Kamgaing-Kouam, CEO of Mobile-XL. "Cellulant is a talented company with visionary leadership and we are proud to have them as a partner in the region."
