Tokyo, Japan, Apr 15, 2008 - (JCN Newswire) - YAPPA Corporation, a leading user interface
company, today announced that WILLCOM, Inc. has selected YAPPA's user interface solution for
its Ultra Mobile WILLCOM D4 handset.
Ultra Mobile WILLCOM D4 includes Intel's next generation mobile device platform equipped with
Intel's(R) Centrino(R) Atom(TM) processor technology, Microsoft's latest OS Windows Vista Home
Premium with Service Pack 1, Sharp's 5 inch wide liquid crystal, in addition to YAPPA's dynamic
user interface.
YAPPA's Spin UI Effect Engine (2D Effects Engine designed for multiple platforms) together
with the UI design have been selected to deliver an attractive and intuitive user interface
experience. The UI'AQUATIC'developed for WILLCOM has been designed taking the concept of the
ocean, and by selecting the menu, the menu layers align itself with the layers of the ocean. Once the icon from the sea level layer is selected, the icon sinks down into the ocean to the
second layer, and then moving down to the third layer. Spin UI enables seamless movement
particularly when the icon drops downward. Additionally, users can trace the touch panel for
screen transitioning delivering a unique interface. As a result, users are able to get a more
intuitive feel by freely moving between layers of the menu. Furthermore, the UI developed with
algorithms incorporates physics and offers an exciting, emotion-filled user experience by
having pleasant sound effects accompany the user operation.
From a user perspective, design is an important element when consumers are selecting a
handset. YAPPA will continue to engage in research and development of user interfaces to
domestic and foreign markets, delivering even more intuitive and easy to use products to a wide
range of fields including mobile phones, smart phones, and digital consumer electronics.
