Volantis, for now, is offering their services for free. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The nice thing about the range of test and free options on the market is that they give you plenty of room to experiment and learn from your mistakes or success with minimal or no financial investment.

"The Ubik.com service enables end users and small businesses to quickly and easily join the mobile community, allowing them to quickly publish content and be sure that it will look good on every device ‘out there’ today” said Mark Watson, co-founder and chief executive officer of Volantis Systems. “With the proliferation of smart phones, more people are turning to their mobile devices for convenient web access. Volantis technology has empowered leading companies to properly present their brands on mobile devices, but until now small companies and end users were left behind. Now, Ubik.com provides a solution for everyone.”
