‘Surf the Web Wireless’ the advertisement says, but who are they kidding with painfully slow access speeds who has the time to wait . . . and wait . . . and wait?

Mobile Web software provider BlueKite.com has released software that promises PocketPC users wireless access speeds equivalent to dial-up connections.

"Real mobile access has been tempered by painfully slow wireless networks and very complex connection solutions," said David Cox, president and CEO of BlueKite. "BlueKite has been working diligently to make the wireless Web a reality for PocketPC users."

The software is a set of network-independent caching and compressing algorithms that reduces unnecessary data transmission over wireless networks, enabling carriers, to deliver a rich, familiar Web browsing experience to its subscribers, which they could only experience on a desktop.

For business users the software, now in version 4.0, enables them to wirelessly access the Internet, intranet, and Web-based applications from Outlook e-mail to Sales Force Automation to CRM.

BlueKite’s version 4.0 will enable service providers to accommodate more users over the same airwaves thus reducing overhead, latency, and redundancy. This, of course, makes it attractive to those operators who are seeking to increase their revenues by offering value-added data services.
