Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: We
believe wireless middleware is an important component of a wireless
solution. Integrating Diversinet security is a good feature. There
are other vendors (IBM, Sybase iAnywhere) who offer wireless
middleware server. Circata will have to compete with these solutions
to get customer acceptance.
