ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Preloads Android Smartphones With OANDA Mobile App
NEW YORK, December 12, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Leading mobile phone manufacturer is now shipping its ALCATEL ONE TOUCH handsets with
the popular OANDA Android Currency Converter mobile app
ALCATEL ONE TOUCH, one of the world's top ten phone manufacturers, has chosen to
preload its Android smartphones [http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/products/smartphones.html
] with a co-branded version of the Android Currency Converter mobile app
[http://www.oanda.com/mobile/converter/android ] developed by OANDA Corporation, a provider
of innovative mobile and online currency applications, data, and custom solutions.
"Currency conversion utilities are one of the top financial apps that mobile users
download to their devices, because they're useful in many situations-for example when
traveling, tracking foreign expenses, or online shopping," said Dr George Guo, CEO of TCL
Communication Technology, which uses ALCATEL ONE TOUCH as one of its brands. "We aim to
expand our smart phone product portfolio with advance feature to satisfy customer needs.
We want customers to have a useful suite of mobile apps at their fingertips from the
moment they activate their ALCATEL ONE TOUCH phones."
Dr Guo added, "OANDA is a leader in the foreign exchange industry and has a reputation
for providing innovative applications based on quality data. We liked the fact that their
mobile currency converter app has been downloaded almost 1.5 million times in 2011, and
that the Android version includes a widget that can be installed to display a handy 'cheat
sheet' of rates, updated daily, on a phone's home screen."
"Mobile development is a key focus for OANDA, given the increasingly mobile world we
live in and the related demand for mobile solutions to read, share, and otherwise interact
with information," said Michael Stumm, CEO, OANDA Corporation. "Our partnership with
ALCATEL ONE TOUCH is an opportunity to reach its smartphone users with a custom-branded
version of our Android currency converter. Our app gives them immediate access to the same
daily, filtered exchange rates used by global banks and auditing firms."
OANDA also has mobile Currency Converter apps for iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7,
Symbian, and J2ME enabled devices.
