Instant messaging applications are clearly one of the most popular forms of communication for online users. The mass popularity of such applications as ICQ, America Online and Yahoo illustrate the widespread demand for such programs. According to ResearchPortal.com, Instant messaging is the No. 2 requested wireless application after voice. In a recent in-depth study on instant messaging (IM) and short message service (SMS), leading independent consulting and market research firm The Radicati Group, Inc, estimates that active IM accounts will grow from 141 million in 2000 to 1.38 billion in 2004. It also predicts that instant messaging will become increasingly commonplace in corporate environments over the next three years, projecting that worldwide IM accounts for business purposes will grow from 28 million in 2000, to reach 687 million in 2004.
Hence, it is a natural step to combine the popularity of these programs with the ever-increasing wireless messaging market. In doing so, desktop, web-based, and mobile users will be able to originate and terminate SMS and EMS in a seamless and fully interoperable wireless instant messaging platform. In order to enable such comprehensive instant messaging solutions, Simplewire partners with instant messaging software providers in order to wirelessly enhance their offerings.
