Software firm launches nation’s first 3G mobile application
The first application for mobile 3G networks in Viet Nam on the iPhone, Android and Microsoft platforms was launched last week by the Dia Diem Joint Stock Company in co-operation with several partners.
The application – called VIET NAM 2.0 – serves as a single portal for users to listen to music, watch video and TV clips, check location information, search for classified advertising, and follow news and sports. "Just as 3G is coming to Viet Nam, projects such as this will ensure that great content will be available to mobile handsets," said Thang Tran, CEO of the company.
The company, which runs Diadiem.com, has a proprietary mapping technology that can be usefully paired with different media. Among its partners are: MuaBan.net; NhacCuaTui.com, one of the country’s top music sites, which helps stream music to mobile handsets; Yume.vn and YanTV to deliver video and TV on demand; YeuTheThao.com and TinNhanh for news and sporting content.
The company is currently working with the HTC to customise the first handset for the Microsoft and Android platform. It plans to expand the application to the Samsung, Nokia and Blackberry brands by the end of this year.
VIET NAM 2.0 can be found in the Apple iTunes App Store or on Cydia. Or visit www.diadiem.com/mobile for instructions on how to download the application.
