Handmark Express is a wireless information application designed to make the most wanted information faster and easier to access than with the micro-browsers found on wireless PDAs and smartphones.<br /><br />According to Handmark vice president, Douglas Edwards, "Handmark Express was created for the mobile device user who is always on the go, but wants to stay in the know with what's happening. We capture that idea with the product slogan GO. KNOW.™" Edwards added, 'Express delivers news, weather, sports, and much more, and delivers it almost instantly on demand and automatically with user scheduled updates.' "<br /><br />This sounds almost like a Web services piece of software - which is a great idea. I'm a big fan of using localized processing power and bits, then only sucking down the bits you need rather than a whole GUI along with it. Long live Web services!
