Zi has recently announced that Sony Ericsson has extended their license agreement with the company. As for the new agreement, Zi Corporation will still be shipping the predictive text entry and handwriting-recognition solutions to the company. The new contract includes a 33% larger volume, which definitely means an expansion for the company. This made Zi Corporation the primary partner shipping text entry solutions for the Japanese-Swedish manufacturer. Sony Ericsson is expected to launch more touchscreen phones in the future and the foundation for them is the recently announced "G" series. Phones from the "G" series, designed primarily for web browsing, have a touchscreen and are based on Symbian UIQ and handwriting recognition is an important alternative text entry solution for this platform.
