WebPOD™ is the fundamental product in Roambox's cross-platform product line. Its kernel is the service that allows the software designed for the handset's J2ME platform to run over the web platform by emulation technology. China holds the largest downloadable JAVA games market. Currently, mobile gaming is still at its early stage. Many middle- and small-sized content providers and developers crowd into this market, requesting more effective promotion method for game contents. Due to the limitation of handsets, currently, mobile game promotion is mainly performed through WEB. The procedure is that users firstly read game introductions, view game pictures and then download the games of interests to their handsets. For terminal users, it is difficult to have straightforward views of games if only provided with game introductions, which may deter the increase of game downloads. To tackle this problem, WebPOD™ provides J2ME downloadable products of content providers (especially, J2ME games) with a preview service based on Web browsers, which can eliminate users' worries ahead of downloading and result in the increase of downloads.

In addition to the emulation of all J2ME functions, WebPOD™ offers customized support for all types of mainstream handsets in accordance with their different extended APIs, so it can perfectly simulate the running environments for J2ME applications in different handsets. At web browser side, terminal users can smoothly try emulated mobile games without installing any software or plug-in.
