Zeinal Bava revealed that SAPO will present
its mobile access on 10th November | This service allows users to have a similar experience to surfing on the Portal, through the equipment of a simple mobile. Developed by various teams of the PT Group and in co-operation with the University of Aveiro and Alcatel-Lucent (the latter in the integration of a solution for video contents), SAPO Mobile results from several months analysing the best international practices. This service “takes SAPO Portal contents and adapts them to the mobile, allowing for a use in total mobility”, underlined Benjamin Júnior, responsible for the project.
SAPO Mobile: how to use it?
The success of this service lies in the quickness and ease of access, so you just need to write http://m.sapo.pt on the browser of the mobile equipment and start surfing.
