Branded TELUS Quick Find, Zi Corporation's Qix is being introduced to North American consumers for the first time on the HTC Touch Dual. Qix for Windows Mobile 6.1 allows users to access the device's content and features simply and intuitively, without having to remember where and how to locate them. A complement to the traditional menu system, Qix allows users to find contacts, applications, bookmarks, music and other device content by entering real words on their keypads or keyboards.
This Windows Mobile version of Qix includes a special indexing feature for media and content files like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, and ZIP files. It also boasts intelligent learning, a time-saving feature for people on the go, which allows the most recent data or features to be presented first.
Milos Djokovic, President and CEO of Zi Corporation, said "This is a significant milestone for Zi and Qix. Both TELUS and HTC are respected brands in the mobile telephony space and this first device could open the door to mass-market deployment of Qix."
Stephen Ospalak, TELUS vice-president of Mobile and Future Friendly Home Devices, said "TELUS is proud to bring Zi Corporation's solution to its clients. We are confident that Qix will enable us to continue to enhance our end users' experience and bolster the loyalty of our ever-expanding customer base."
