LOS ANGELES, March, 2008 – Mobile-XL, a mobile technology company, today announced that it has officially opened an office in Nairobi. The office is to serve the East African Region and will be managed by Marek Fuchs, the newly appointed East African Regional Director.

"The Nairobi office will allow us to be on the ground in a key region, where we can more efficiently work with locally based retailers, operators and content providers. The office will allow us to expand more effectively and will also assist as we launch our services throughout the region,” according to Guy Kamgaing-Kouam, CEO of Mobile-XL.

According to Fuchs, “I am excited to be joining Mobile-XL as it launches the XLBrowser throughout the region. The services are much needed in the area because the internet is so expensive and unreliable, while WAP and GPRS remain unavailable. We are just beginning to see the extent of the pent up demand for information. The Nairobi office has hit the ground running and we are preparing to make a big impact around the region.”

The XLBrowser is a revolutionary mobile phone application that utilizes SMS to provide instant access to global and local information to anyone, anywhere, using almost any mobile phone. The XLBrowser’s intuitive interface allows a user to easily select and instantly receive up-to-the-minute information, news, sports, finance, entertainment, games, music and much more – all with minimal effort and instant results. The XLBrowser is a passport that opens up a world of information, particularly valuable for users in areas with limited, unreliable, or expensive internet or WAP technologies.
