Blue Angel Technologies Breaks the Wireless E-Commerce Barrier; Data-Enabled Wireless Applications Over the Net.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers VALLEY FORGE Valley Forge, on the Schuylkill River, SE Pa., NW of Philadelphia. There, during the American Revolution, the main camp of the Continental Army was established (Dec., 1777–June, 1778) under the command of Gen. George Washington. , Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2000 Blue Angel Technologies, Inc. today took a huge leap over the competition by announcing MetaStar Mobile(TM), a breakthrough wireless e-commerce solution that provides a bi-directional data-enabled platform for the Web. "First-time viewers of MetaStar Mobile insist that it's magic. We take that as the sincerest form of compliment", said Jim Restivo, Blue Angel's president. "The possibilities for this product are incredibly far reaching. Salespersons can place orders or review customer accounts, repair people and inspectors can enter job ticket information, doctors can review a patient's medical information or order prescriptions from bedside and business travelers can check into their hotel or reserve their rental car as they step off the plane. All this and much more from a wireless hand held device. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination." Perhaps even more significant than the technology is the fact that Blue Angel has made it incredibly easy to use. Customers can get sophisticated wireless-enabled Internet applications up and running very quickly. There is no need to hire a stream of system consultants or programmers to design and implement an Internet solution. MetaStar provides these capabilities out of the box. This means that companies are not only able to save time and money but can also gain competitive advantage that would not otherwise be possible. "The Internet is the killer app A software application that is exceptionally useful or exciting. Killer apps are innovative and often represent the first of a new breed, and they are extremely successful. For example, in the late 1970s, the VisiCalc spreadsheet was the killer app for the Apple II, providing reason for Web-enabled wireless devices and Blue Angel has staked its claim as a leader in this market with MetaStar Mobile", said chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president.
