firsts in mobile, since we were first to market with an Augmented Reality app for the
iPhone. Imano is skilled at imagining, creating and developing rich mobile applications
that make innovative use of the latest technologies. The Ness acquisition offers us access
to the scale we need to win the very biggest mobile applications. We already have the
experience, knowledge and creativity - and now we have the firepower. We can't wait to get
started and see how much we can achieve together."
