Cracking the code

Two young local entrepreneurs are proposing to remedy the compatibility problems between mobile phones.

03 January 2007

Dusan Babic and Michael Welham are 20-something entrepreneurs at the helm of RedFiveLabs. They are the brains behind a project that they claim will finally bridge the divide between Symbian and Windows Mobile smart phones.

They have developed software that, for the first time, makes it possible for applications written for Windows Mobile to run unchanged on the Symbian framework. "The smart phone market is divided into two camps," says Welham. "The first is the Symbian-powered smart phones used by manufacturers such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson. The second camp consists of Microsoft-powered smart phones, which run on Windows Mobile."
