ecrio Proposes Rich Instant Messaging Platform

A startup named ecrio has demonstrated a new instant messaging platform at DEMOMobile 2000. The ecrio Rich Instant Messaging Platform lets users instantly send handwritten notes in any language, as well as drawings, images and files to any Internet-enabled wireless device.   A client-agnostic platform, the ecrio Rich Instant Messenger runs across PDAs with Palm OS, WinCE and EPOC OS, Internet-enabled mobile phones, PC systems, and others. ecrio’s solution consists of server-based host applications as well as a multitude of client applications. Content is dynamically reformatted to the sender’s and recipient’s device limitations.

ecrio says the platform relies on open standards and is interoperable with third-party instant messaging platforms, though they didn't say which ones. They also say it will work with future IETF standards-based instant messaging technologies. 

They are currently negotiating with ISPs to install the host application.
