Etelos announces new technology to enable any Web App to function without a Web connection
published on: 04/17/2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Etelos solves main complaint from business users about Web-based business software.

San Francisco - April 17, 2007 - You've just lost your Internet connection. If you're a business user working on a Web-based Application, this could be catastrophic. Data is now lost, a message is gone forever.

Etelos announces today's launch of its latest project, which goes by the test name "Apps on a Plane." Apps on a Plane will enable builders of any Application ported into the Etelos Ecosystem to give their Applications the ability to function without being connected to a live Internet connection. This means that the builders of Web-based Applications can enable them to run offline.

Etelos will officially announce Apps on a Plane at 4:50 p.m. on April 17 during a presentation in room 2014 at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.

Apps on a Plane creates a version of a customer's Application that is stored locally on a user's computer. Every time changes are made offline, those changes are synchronized with the main hosted Application. The synchronization occurs automatically.

"Apps on a Plane delivers what others are promising and then some," Etelos President and CEO Danny Kolke said. "This isn't just one Application that is built to synchronize. The true power of Apps on a Plane is that it enables any Web-based Application to perform without a live Internet connection."

The ability of a user to synchronize data is controllable by an easy-to-use interface. The administrator can create maps that determine the data that employees are able to synchronize. This keeps multiple users from updating the same data and also keeps sensitive information secure.

The technology behind Apps on a Plane can be deployed to any Application ported into the Etelos Ecosystem and sold in the Etelos Store, meaning that bloggers don't have to be online to post, podcasters don't need to be online to upload files and salesmen don't need to be online to add leads.

About Apps on a Plane
Designed to bridge the gap between a Web-based Application and offline productivity, AoP gives users a local database that is automatically synchronized with a company's remote database. For more information about AoP, please visit www.etelos.com/aop.
