InnoPath buys Openwave product line.

"InnoPath's new MDM platform will support applications such as firmware over-the-air (FOTA), Configuration Management, Diagnostics Management and Feature Upgrade... Feature Upgrade enhances OTA beyond its basic capabilities by updating application features and services, allowing carriers to brand their products and offer end-user personalisation. Going forward, Feature Upgrade will enable carriers to offer customised and branded user interfaces (UI), allowing subscribers to choose and change the look and feel of their mobile phones, and providing services such as anti-virus and security downloads...

'Openwave's MDM platform is a natural fit with our existing portfolio of solutions,' said InnoPath CEO John Fazio. 'In particular, their strength in controlling settings, testing and interoperability are welcome additions to our existing expertise. The consolidation of these two MDM product lines will help streamline MDM offerings and speed interoperability between handsets and platforms.'"
