2001 - MoPilot.com,
the leading WAP search engine and mobile portal, today announced
its full support for the 3G initiative.

held back by both the protocols and the limitations of the devices"

Technology Officer at MoPilot. "However, 3G is a huge advancement.
It enables us to create a far superior system, employing use of
colour and detailed graphics to increase the aesthetic appeal of
our products. More
importantly, we now can make use of the technical advancements,
facilitating us in creating more sophisticated and potentially limitless
applications.

of the content we will provide. We believe MoPilot will help us
to achieve that."
"With fast access speeds and highly capable devices,
our services are undergoing a huge evolution. We strive to produce
the solutions that our customers demand, and this now is possible.
Contemplating the incredible
array of content on the Internet today, we are clear about the potential
of 3G. Therefore we are delighted to lend our full support to the
