Ulead Offers Innovative Software for Delivering Web Content to Wireless Devices

Web Chameleon Helps Businesses Go Wireless Quickly, Easily and Profitably

Ulead Systems Inc., a leading developer of video editing, image editing and Web graphics software, today announced the availability of Web Chameleon(TM) v1.2 software that translates Web information -- including text and images -- to a format readable on a variety of mobile Internet devices.

With Web Chameleon, any online content can be effectively and efficiently transformed for use by non-PC devices such as handheld computers and mobile phones. The product is targeted initially to content providers, wireless providers, enterprises, hosting services and system integrators in North America.

"One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today to go wireless is how to make existing Web content available to the multitude of wireless Internet devices without building new contents for each device," said Lewis Liaw, senior vice president at Ulead Systems Inc. "With Web Chameleon, we can now offer a cutting-edge solution. Web Chameleon will simplify and accelerate making Web content available to the multitude of wireless Internet devices."

Web Chameleon technology significantly reduces the time involved for Web designers, Webmasters and developers to transform legacy PC-based content for use by non-PC wireless Internet devices. The patent-pending technology, developed by Ulead partner AdaptView Inc., consists of two modules, the Page Customization Tool and the Transformation Proxy Server application.

The Page Customization Tool is an advanced visual layout editor that runs on a client workstation and uses drag technology to capture selected objects in the original Web page and drop them into a standardized or customized template for the appropriate device. The designer sees instantly, via an emulation screen, how the content will look in real time on a specific device.

Web Chameleon's Transformation Proxy Server intelligently transforms general Web content into a format that can be displayed on any Internet-enabled device. Using the rules designed in the Page Customization Tool, the Transformation Proxy Server automatically detects the device requesting Web content and serves up information in the format best suited for that particular mobile device.

Pricing and Availability

To best support the different business environments and their market segments, Web Chameleon is available in two standard packages: Personal Community Edition for single domain use and Advanced Edition for larger enterprises. Pricing for the Personal Community Edition starts at $5,000, and the Advanced Editions begins at $25,000. For sales information, visit www.imiraservertools.com or e-mail iMiraServerTools@ulead.com.
