Alltel Wireless has launched Celltop, a handset navigation system that offers customers an easier way to access, manage and organize information already available on their Alltel Wireless phones. Celltop is said to be similar to the desktop on a personal computer.
Now available on select Alltel Wireless handsets, and on all new phones by late-2007, Celltop is free-of-charge and features 10 "cells" that come pre-installed or are downloadable. Each cell is a category-specific half screen comprised of graphics and text that provides shortcuts for wireless users to navigate through information and applications including: call log, weather, news, baseball, basketball, football, rodeo, stocks, text messaging inbox and ringtones.
Customization options include the ability to modify the appearance, presentation and organization of information within each cell. Similar to "widgets" on a personal computer, Celltop is open to the developer community, providing unlimited user expandability of new and unique cells.
