This mobile Internet platform will offer  content and services such as location relevant business directories, emergency  services and mobile commerce.   GPSMAX is pleased to have Aludra as its strategic partner drawing upon their  experience in e-commerce and Web site development to bring together and deliver  WAP (wireless application protocol)-based location services. "This demonstrates  our shared vision of the importance of personalized wireless applications and  customers will enjoy exciting new services that were not possible a short time ago,"  stated Aldo Baiocchi, president and chief executive officer of Aludra. "We believe  that this will be a major breakthrough for users of the wireless Internet and the best  case to date as to why consumers will consider purchasing Internet-enabled devices  such as cellular phones, personal data assistants and pagers," added Corrado Licini,  vice-president of operations, GPSMAX Inc.   This state-of-the-art platform takes value-added services to a whole new level by  maximizing customer convenience. Mobile users will be able to search for various  destinations and receive directions based on their current or intended location in real  time. The new GPSMAX site is anticipated to launch in the very near future and  will place the company in a position to lead this emerging industry.   New research indicates that by 2004, 95 per cent of digital cellphone users will have  access to wireless data and Internet services.
