Until very recently, our product would have been unthinkable. On demand, on location, multimedia content for your handheld device. No such platforms existed. PDA's had low-level processors incapable of rendering graphics effectively; cellular phones were worse, if they even had screens at all. Neither had storage capacity, and most of all, no communications medium existed for downloading large files onto the device.

All this has changed. Wireless Broadband has enabled high-speed downloads. Both PDA's and cellular phones are using increasingly faster processors and greater memory capacity. Mobile computing is following the same adoption curve of personal computing in the 1980's and 90's, and soon each of us will have a robust computer in his or her pocket at all times.

Using J2ME, Racontours is able to offer its product on a wide variety of devices and operating systems while preserving a unique user environment. Whether you pan our maps with a stylus on your touch-screen or the directional pad on your phone, and regardless of the size of your device's screen, our platform retains its functionality.
