LA JOLLA, Calif., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoPoint, Inc., creator of the highly acclaimed NeoPoint smartphone, today announced that it has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan, an international marketing and training company, with its 1999 Entrepreneurial Company Award. As part of its annual Marketing Engineering Awards Program, Frost & Sullivan honors a company that has demonstrated entrepreneurial leadership and drive. NeoPoint was recognized by Frost & Sullivan for its unique ability to establish a firm, competitive position in the smartphone market by developing focused, aggressive marketing programs and establishing key strategic partnerships with some of the wireless industry's leading companies.
"We are honored to be recognized for our entrepreneurial spirit and drive by Frost & Sullivan," said William Son, chairman, CEO and president of NeoPoint. "We are quite proud that in just two years, our outstanding team has been able to create and market a smartphone that truly benefits consumers by conveniently providing useful, cutting-edge voice and data services in a stylish, easy-to-use handset."
"NeoPoint is working harder, faster, and more efficiently than many of its more established competitors. The company already has made solid inroads in the market despite the usual limitations associated with a start-up," said Greg Baldwin, research analyst of wireless communications for Frost & Sullivan.
In less than two years in business, NeoPoint has established itself as a market leader in developing state-of-the-art smartphones with the debut of its first product -- the digital CDMA NeoPoint 1000. Since its introduction, the NeoPoint 1000 has received widespread attention from industry analysts and top-tier publications for being the first affordable, pocket-friendly smartphone to deliver the small form factor, large screen size and intuitive features that consumers have long been asking for. The smartphone provides superior voice clarity, e-mail, Web browsing and personal information management functions in a simple, easy-to-use handset. In the near future, the dual-mode NeoPoint 1600 will hit the market offering more consumers the opportunity to experience the NeoPoint smartphone.
NeoPoint also recently announced the creation of myAladdin.com, a comprehensive, smart wireless portal that provides dynamic, location- and intelligent agent-based services. The smart service offers relevant local content and information to on-the-go consumers via NeoPoint smartphones as well as other WAP-enabled wireless devices including handsets, pagers and PDAs that use CDMA, GSM, TDMA and iDEN technologies.
