IRVINE, Ca. - Indicative of the future of the future of computing on the desktop and on wireless Internet connected iAppliances, AdaptiveInfo Inc. has developed a version of its Adaptive News Browser for QUALCOMM's Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) platform.

The Adaptive News Browser resides on the client device and communicates with the company's Adaptive Information Server to which deploys agent software to perform user specific information and news search and downloads them to the device during off-peak periods.

With the standard browser on the client, users can interactively browse the latest content at any time or configure the application to download content at a fixed time every day. Downloaded content can then be browsed at any time without any additional wireless charges or delay.

The Adaptive News Browser for BREW receives content from AdaptiveInfo's Adaptive Information Server. The Adaptive Information Server acts as an intelligent agent for the consumer to determine which content to download each day.

This patent-pending adaptive personalization technology automatically and effortlessly learns users' interests as they interact with their mobile devices. As the user reads some articles and skips others, the server learns about the user, and articles that match his or her interests are downloaded each day.

The personalized delivery of content occurs without the content provider adding extra category tags to content, and without requiring the mobile user to fill out any forms. The Adaptive Information Server converts content from a Web site or database to the proper format for any wireless device, including a compact format for fast delivery to the Adaptive News Browser for BREW. The BREW platform is a thin application execution environment that provides an open, standard platform for wireless devices.
