AskMeNow Inc.'s primary offering is a consumer mobile search product which utilizes proprietary technology to offer a natural language based interaction and dynamic content provision platform.

  • Mobile Applications — A GUI is offered via mobile applications. AskMeNow applications are offered on platforms including BlackBerry, Treo, Windows Mobile, J2ME, Symbian and Pocket PC.
