ACCESS’ record track ACCESS has been continually growing its business through adoption of new technology, developing new markets, and timely execution of product strategies. ・Application Suite Strategy - Provide the browser, messaging, and Java as a set. - Example: FOMA Sanyo, Nokia, NEC, LG, … - Being a component-only vendor would become more difficult. ・1-seg on a rise - Had been involved from definition of specifications. Dominating the 1-seg browser market. ・SyncML (Technology to store address books on the server, and synchronizing the differences) - Operators aggressively adopting this new technology in preparation for Number Portability. Also providing the Server-side. ・NetFront Living Connect (DLNA – Coordination of Home Electronics) - Many leads. High potential.  

In addition, our Platform Strategy based on Linux Copyright © 2006 ACCESS Co., Ltd.

Differences between other Linux Phones Other Linux-based phones already exist, such as FOMA (NEC, Panasonic) and Motorola. ・These Linux Phones simply use Linux as the OS. → Proved that Linux can be used on a mobile phone. SilkTest for app testing

・ALP provides a Platform for mobile phone software - Define an API, and distribute its SDK.

Simulator

Virtual Phone for simple network emulation

- Not only will we develop applications ourselves, but would also support 3rd party application developers - Announced the ACCESS Developer Network Will support software developers for the ALP, including PalmOS developers (more than 420,000 developers).

Example: PIM application testing –1070 automated test cases –11 man days (manual) Æ 12 hours (in Simulator) – repeat for each locale

PalmOS Applications run as-is

Š Š

One of the advantages of ACCESS Linux Platform (PalmOS Emulator) is that PalmOS Applications run as it is, in binary. There are approximately 20,000 PalmOS applications and ALP inherits this. Installers and Launchers are made so that ALP native applications and PalmOS applications can be treated alike. This allows Palm developers and Linux developers an easy entry into developing for the ALP. Of course Java applications can also run on the ALP, with its built-in Java environment.

Why the attention on Linux Standardization? The Linux Kernel is released as open source and a variety of open source components such GTK and GStreamer makes it flexible, scalable and open. However, in contrast to its flexibility, standardization (API’s, etc) has not gone far. Therefore, there needs to be good balance of flexibility and standardization. ・OSDL … Leading Open Source organization. Similar groups for Linux kernel and Mobile also established. ・LiPS … France Telecom, TIM, … involved. Definition of Platform API. ・CELF … Consumer Linux ・6-Company Alliance (DoCoMo, Vodafone, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, Motorola) Though different in approach, the Goal is the same. The unification of the Mobile Linux Platform to a certain degree.

ACCESS will lead in various ways, in collaboration with these organizations, the standardization of Linux. Copyright © 2006 ACCESS Co., Ltd.
