LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Symsource Limited, the mobile engineering experts behind some of today’s most widely used applications, has announced the release of the My.tel application running on the Android platform.

 

Developed on behalf of Telnic Limited (http://telnic.tel) - which created the award-winning communications-focused .tel names - Symsource’s My.tel for Android management app allows users to manage their .tel contact information in real time. The application developed by Symsource supports Android OS 1.5 and is oriented to popular devices from HTC and other providers.

 

A .tel name is the only domain that can be set up and run entirely from a growing number of smart phones. It acts as a single point of contact accessible from any internet-connected device, and the data remains under the control and ownership of the .tel name owner. Hundreds of thousands of .tel names have been registered by individuals and businesses, who are now taking advantage of the easy-to-use, discoverable online presence under their control, without having to touch a traditional PC, use any web development software or pay for hosting.

 

Gareth Jehu, Director of Operations at Telnic, commented: “Telnic has been impressed by Symsource's professional approach to product development, competitive pricing and their ability to meet our expectations within tight cost and quality constraints. These attributes have enabled us to move quickly and launch the .tel client into the Android marketplace at a time when market share for the Android operating platform is gaining rapid momentum."

 

Omid Rezvani, CEO of Symsource (http://symsource.tel), said: “We are delighted to be part of the .tel names ecosystem.  The management application we have developed gives Android users the power to manage their instant mobile presence, enabling contacts to find them as soon as contact information, location and keywords have been published.  Our app allows users to benefit from Telnic’s innovative technology, which reduces the cost of downloading data from the mobile web and significantly increases the speed of accessing real-time information. This is critical for smart phone users.”

Throughout the development stages, their level of communication was excellent, ensuring all stakeholders were made aware of significant developments and decision points. Pre-and post development, bugs and issues have been attended to immediately, and support responses have always exceeded expectations. They are honest and transparent, making recommendations that are always in our best interest, even if this meant less billable work hours for them! Overall a pleasure to work with and highly recommended.”
