Company Description

AnywhereYouGo.com is 100% wireless application development and deployment.

AnywhereYouGo.com is the online community and marketplace that: - Helps application developers speed the development of wireless applications - Helps IT managers speed application deployment - Connects wireless infrastructure providers with target influencers and decision makers around the world. More people will access the Internet via a mobile phone than a PC by the year 2003 according to the IGI Group. This will drive mobile e-commerce, which Strategy Analytics forecasts to total 14 billion transactions in 2005 for a total market of $200 billion. Today, wireless developers face the challenge of building applications for multiple technologies, devices, and country standards with documentation and support tools that are poor or non-existent.
