Drag and drop to configure mobile user
interfaces
Open Plug and e-SIM have jointly perfected software components that empower mobile phone manufacturers and carriers to customise their user interfaces.
Open Plug and e-SIM have jointly perfected software components that empower mobile phone manufacturers and carriers to customise their user interfaces independently of their hardware, programming language or operating system, thereby realising cost and time-to-market savings Customising the user interface no longer requires resolving complex interconnections between the interface and underlying software layers when adding new features or updating an existing design

"The Open Plug - e-SIM co-operation makes sense because the user interface is one of the most resource consuming components of mobile software architectures", said Eric Baissus, CEO, Open Plug.
"As a major developer of user interface solutions for mobile phone handset brands world-wide, e-SIM is the ideal partner with whom to drive forward our component-based approach to creating flexible, cost-effective mobile platform solutions".
The ability to quickly develop and customise the user interface is one of the most important aspects of designing a mobile platform.

Initiative aims for modular phone software
The Configurable Phone Initiative aims to support the development of mobile phones with modular software architectures that are easy to adapt with new applications and user interface features.
This added advantage enables device manufacturers to tailor designs for diverse target markets, while carriers can build brand loyalty by offering exclusivity through the look and feel of phones connected to their own networks.
New, compact, and flexible components developed by Open-Plug and e-SIM communicate only with Open-Plug's embedded Linux environment, ELIPS-RTS, which runs on the handset.
Components are easily attached to ELIPS-RTS by the drag-and-drop copy of files on a desktop PC.
ELIPS-RTS also handles distribution of access rights to resources, and is capable of providing a Linux or a Java simulation environment without installing a heavy, resource-consuming kernel in the phone.
Open-Plug's component-based approach opens up mobile software platforms for easy third- party application integration, with games, WAP, MMS, or multimedia functionality, for example, without compromising developers' control over proprietary APIs.
Open-Plug is currently working with several vendors offering best in class solutions including, MMS and WAP clients, who have established leadership positions within the mobile developer community.
The company plans to work with these partners to deliver innovative and trusted solutions for cost-effective, flexible, and highly differentiated mobile platforms as 3G networks expands opportunities for increasing new services, and end users voice ever more stringent demands for services and terminal performance.
