TelstraOne interface uses SurfKitchen power

Telstra, one of Australia’s leading mobile operators, has chosen SurfKitchen for the ‘TelstraOne’ homescreen interface on its mobile handsets.

SurfKitchen is a mobile Internet platform that gives handset users one-click access to the applications and services they use most frequently.

TelstraOne uses the SurfKitchen engine to enable users to easily discover and launch mobile widgets, Internet applications, native applications, and websites.

Users will be able to create a customisable launch pad of their favourite services - such as Facebook and Mobile Foxtel - on the phone’s idle screen.

“We know mobile users want a navigation experience that is intuitive and allows them to get to their favourite features quickly without having to hunt through endless submenus,” said Ross Fielding, executive director of Telstra project management.

“TelstraOne Experience delivers on our one-click vision, giving customers greater control over the services they want to use on their mobile phone.”

Telstra has worked with SurfKitchen since 2004, when it chose SurfKitchen technology to support the launch of Telstra downloads.

In 2005, Telstra used SurfKitchen to launch Telstra MyPlace, a mobile services and applications portal.
