Smart and Red Bend Unveil the Netphone.

"Using Red Bend’s standards-based vRapid MSM solution, SMART [the leading Philippines’ wireless services provider, with 44.1m subscribers] can manage its suite of SMART-branded embedded software and apps, including WAC-compliant widgets, individually and independently from the OEM’s firmware, using the OMA-DM SCOMO standard. It can also push new, revenue-generating mobile services that use WAC widgets to Netphone subscribers over the air, rather than relying on consumers to discover new apps on the WAC-based SMART Shop or Android Market. And it can offer the same software-managed user experience across different device price points and mobile platforms, including Android and Brew MP."
