CHAMPAIGN, IL and PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire) -
Wolfram Alpha LLC today announced that the Wolfram|Alpha App for
Android? is now available through Android Market?. The app launched with
the new T-Mobile® G2? with Google?, the first smartphone designed to
deliver 4G speeds on T-Mobile's new HSPA+ network*, and will be
available for mobile devices running Android 1.6 and higher on the
T-Mobile Channel and in Android Market. The Wolfram|Alpha App for
Android delivers the full power of the Wolfram|Alpha computational
knowledge engine, providing Android users with a massive amount of
factual information in the palms of their hands. On the T-Mobile G2, the

leverages Android's voice-input capability, making it easy to get
answers from Wolfram|Alpha while you are on the go, hands-free. The
application integrates Wolfram|Alpha's growing repository of curated
data, including over ten trillion data elements, and its library of tens
of thousands of sophisticated computational models to deliver knowledge
quickly and seamlessly, on demand, anywhere. It also leverages the
advanced screen capabilities of Android 2.2 and provides high-resolution
results on the latest cutting-edge Android-powered devices like the
T-Mobile G2.
"Consumers crave a mobile experience that gives them access
to the information they want, wherever they are," said Saj Sahay,
director, product management, T-Mobile. "We designed the T-Mobile G2
with this in mind, and we're proud to work with Wolfram|Alpha on their
entry into the Android space."
"Wolfram|Alpha is democratizing knowledge by giving people
access to its amazing computational engine and an expertly curated
factual archive," said Barak Berkowitz, Managing Director, Wolfram Alpha
LLC. "The T-Mobile G2 running at 4G speeds is the perfect platform to

Wolfram|Alpha through this powerful phone and T-Mobile's super-fast
network. In our goal to make Wolfram|Alpha available to everyone
everywhere, on every internet-enabled device, the expansion to Android
devices is an important step. The Wolfram|Alpha app for Android answers
the demand we've been hearing from Android users since our launch last
year."
With access to over a thousand domains of knowledge covering
