Our participation in this contest will allow us to show main players within the industry our latest applications that are within the JIL (Joint Innovation Lab) and can be used in all mobile devices and all operating systems.

We will keep you posted!

This event gathers together agents from the wireless world that meet to share their views and ideas. Three days of intense work and meetings that we hope will result in new partnerships and business for 2010.

Additionally, CTIA Wireless 2010 is the perfect venue to showcase our lastest products and services. We invite all of you to visit us in our booth in Las Vegas and be the first to know these new releases!

We would like to thank clients, partners, visitors and friends for your kind support and encouragement during this event. It was a pleasure meeting you in Barcelona.

It has been an enticing and enriching experience to share our ideas with all of you. And we hope we can establish fruitful collaborations with you in the foreseeable future.

On Monday, the 15th Mobile World Congress in Barcelona opened its doors as the most important event within the mobile industry. That first day we received a good number of visitors in our stand located in the Spanish Pavilion.

One of the most distinguished visitors was Spanish Minister of Industry, Miguel Sebastian, who showed his interest in Spanish companies whose strategy is based on innovation and seek to make our country be a referent in the development of new technologies.

During this visit, we could chat with him for a while and explain our innovative character to develop mobile applications that contribute to make new technologies closer and more accessible to users, with services that fit in virtually every handset and with applications specially designed for impaired people.

This event allows European innovative companies that have been established in the past 4 years to show their project to European agents. These agents take part in creating and developing innovative projects and are: European institutions, European Business and Innovation Centers, public and private investors, consultants, experts and European research institutions.

During this forum, all companies will take part in a number of activities such as pre-scheduled meetings, “Best Practices Workshop” and formative sessions given by the “College des Entrepreneurs”.

Additionally, Almira Labs will take part at the “Carrefour des possibles Européen”, where 10 ICT companies will be selected to show their project to European institutions, public and private investors, and more agents. We will be able to make our company known in Europe. This will enable us to establish strategic alliances with new partners and to enter into new collaborations with European institutions in order to reinforce our activity and our position in the European market.

The new applications are:

Voice Smileys: Assign different sounds to the keypad of your mobile, and play them during a call. You can include the bark of a dog, the groaning of a lion or honk the horn of a car while talking to your friends. Fun is served!.

Video / Voice Ambience: Tint the atmosphere of your calls by adding a sound or video background. Call your boss when you are late for work from a traffic jam or you can call your friends from a bar surrounded by beautiful women. You will want to change places over and over again!

Video / Voice Blog: If you are addicted to social networks you can now access them through your mobile phone and post messages to update your profile wherever you are and regardless of the mobile phone you have. Keep your contacts posted on every move you make!

These sticky services have been designed to enhance user’s daily communications and bring more fun to their mobile phones.

Visit us in our booth at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona and get to know these and other new applications and services!

We are very proud of the applications we showcased during the contest. Additionally, we would like to thank the organization of the event for attending us so kindly at Telefónica Headquarters in Madrid. We are sure we are on the right path for success and we will be ready to show you next year!

Our Roadmap for 2010 will be made up by products and services that will be aligned with the RCS Initiative. We will let you know about them shortly!

We are currently developing applications within the JIL (Joint Innovation Lab) that can be used in all mobile devices and all operating sytems. This universality benefits all parts within the telecommunications ecosystem: operators, device manufacturers and developers and we will be walking in the same path with the same goals. And if one part wins, all of them do so.

JIL is a new and exciting initiative which is expected to bring a high success in the telecom industry and which has been joined by a good number of companies who seek to work in collaboration with others so operators become main actors within the content value chain.

We will shortly show you all our new JIL releases!

This year, Almira Labs has taken part in the project. After a strict selection process we were selected as one of the hosts companies. For us this is a step further in our internationalization process and a great opportunity to build a heterogeneous team. Besides it’s a project that leads us to a cultural and professional growth.

- The ability for operators to rapidly adopt mobile applications and services and enhance the communication experience of their subscriber’s base.

- A brand new offer of high value services for end users to enjoy services with richer and more exciting features to share with their contacts around the world.

The event gathers together 29 companies who will be showing their last innovative releases and will be competing in two categories: Best RCS Client and Best RCS Innovation. Today all companies will present their applications and the judging panel will provide a list with 5 finalists. The winners on each category will be announced next February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

We will let you know if Almira Labs is among them!
