Casio, which develops Windows CE-based handhelds, and InfoMove, a provider of traffic information, say they will integrate their future products so that users can receive information wirelessly. The agreement also calls for InfoMove to deliver an in-car cradle to retrofit existing Casio handhelds. Besides traffic reports, those services also could include location-based advertising, the company says. The system also can deliver e-mail.
Wireless access is provided via existing wireless networks.
The companies say they will launch initial services in the third quarter of 2000.
