Geoworks is a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: GWRX) that was founded in 1984, and we have offices around the world: Alameda, CA; Berkeley, CA, Seattle, WA; Tokyo, Japan; Macclesfield, UK; Stockholm, Sweden. Geoworks is very interested in all standards for data formats and communication protocols for the cellular phone market, as well as other emerging mobile communications markets. We today have products that communicate over the GSM, PHS & PDC air interfaces, and would like to work with other companies to set standards for how devices in those and other networks send, receive and exchange data. Specifically, we'd like to discuss: - similarities and differences between Internet-related standards for the desktop and the mobile environments - WAP - proposed standards or ideas for data formats that are appropriate for the low-bandwidth wireless environment - proposed standards or ideas for communication protocols that are more appropriate than TCP/IP & HTTP for the low-bandwidth wireless environment - electronic commerce standards Geoworks Home Page: http://www.geoworks.com/
