OpenMobile goes into Asia with their 300,000 Android Apps !

OpenMobile-ACL-Asia-MeeGo-Tizen-Android
Since being featured on MeeGoExperts and other tech sites (that Engadgetfella comes to mind) OpenMobile has been shunned into the limelight with its Technology that allows any non-Android / non-iOS device to seamlessly run the approximate 300,000+ Android apps (and counting). Obviously we are looking forward to these apps running on MeeGo and also Tizen in the future.
They have received huge interest from Asia based IVI OEM”s for their technology called the Application Compatibility Layer (ACL). Read on for their Press Release to us:
 
OPENMOBILE LEADERSHIP IN ASIA
OpenMobile has created a game-changing technology called the Application Compatibility Layer (ACL), that allows any non-Android / non-iOS device to run any of the 300,000+ Android apps at seamlessly. OpenMobile has taken the much more seamless approach to user experience. ACL’s apps run “as native” without performance penalties and for a user running ACL on a MeeGo/Tizen/Ubuntu / QNX/ Symbian device there is no telling the difference between a native app and an ACL app.
Since the first public announcement of ACL by MeeGoexperts, Engadget and many others, we have been blown away by the response from Handset OEM’s and users alike. What has been most surprising, however is the response we have received from IVI OEM’s – your car companies. 6 months ago, IVI OEM”s would tell us “ Android apps are a nice-to-have” but today “ Android apps are a must have”.
The response to ACL has been incredible. We have had 2-3 customer meetings every week, for delivering ACL to IVI systems.
After deep technical due diligence by some of the smartest people and companies in the world, we’ve been invited by many of the world’s leading OEM’s for Handsets and IVI’s to Asia. OpenMobile CEO, Bob Angelo and CTO Zigurd Mednieks will be meeting with decision makers in three different countries in Asia. As you might imagine this is exciting and validates the emerging reality: ACL is a seminal idea that has the power to change the trajectory of the global marketplace by breaking down the App Barrier.
I personally invite you to follow us on twitter #openmobileww, and use #OMACL and please keep writing to us and your OEM’s.

Below is a recap of the Features and Benefits of ACL:

    ecosystem – on day one.
