    TOKYO, Feb. 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Aplix Corporation
(TSE: 3727) announced today that its JBlend platform is
included in BenQ-Siemens' S88, one of the first mobile
phones introduced under the dual brand.

    After the purchase of Siemens' handset division in
2005, BenQ has been working with Aplix to develop a series
of phone models under the new BenQ-Siemens brand.  The
first such phone model, the S88, uses the JBlend platform
and complies with Java Technology for the Wireless Industry
JTWI(TM) 1.0 (JSR-185).  JBlend will also be deployed in
several other phone models that are currently under
development.  

    "We have a successful history of supporting BenQ
on diverse mobile phone projects," said Wesley Kuo,
President and CSO of Aplix.  "Our goal is to continue
to utilize the industry leading features of JBlend to
benefit BenQ." 

    As the first-to-market enabler, Aplix has been trusted
by global operators and handset manufacturers to fulfill
their desired Java specifications.  The JBlend platform has
already been deployed on over 150 million mobile devices
around the world.  Aplix continues its innovative efforts
to contribute to the development of consumer products that
are even more appealing and easier to use than those we
have today.
