Motricity Deutschland, a division of Motricity, Inc., a global
leader in mobile marketplace management, announced today that it has
launched German versions of Motricity's direct to consumer Web sites
PalmGear.com, PocketGear.com and SymbianGear.com. The new sites

PalmGear.de, PocketGear.net and SymbianGear.de will each be hosted
in primarily German language and will feature software applications
with German descriptions. Most of the applications will also feature
German binaries. Each site will allow the user to select his or her
device prior to purchasing the software in order to ensure the
application will operate on the particular device the customer uses.

powerful advanced search engines to facilitate ease of use and faster
search times for requested software.
"PalmGear.de, PocketGear.net and SymbianGear.de each offer
features and functionality that expand upon the original
English-version sites to provide customers with an even greater user
experience when purchasing software for their handheld devices," said
Ralf Ockenfelds, general manager of Motricity Deutschland.
