Bitstream Inc. announced today the release of ThunderHawk 2.0 Pocket PC Edition, the company’s award-winning technology that provides end users and enterprise clients with a familiar, secure desktop browsing experience on mobile devices. Bitstream is demonstrating ThunderHawk 2.0 today through Thursday, at the Mobilize 2004 conference in Las Vegas.
New users, as well as current ThunderHawk 2.0 Pocket PC Preview Edition users, can download the 30-day free trial of the product release at http://www.bitstream.com/wireless/pr...ree_trial.html, or subscribe to ThunderHawk for $49.95 per year or $5.95 per month.
With ThunderHawk, browsing the Web on a Pocket PC is just like browsing on the desktop, because ThunderHawk includes functionality that enhances the user experience in ways that other browsers do not. ThunderHawk 2.0 Pocket PC Edition provides:
• Effortless scrolling. Fast, fluid Web page navigation, as if you were browsing on your desktop.
• A more user-friendly keypad.
• Increased speed. Download ThunderHawk directly to your Pocket PC for the fastest mobile Web page speeds available.
• The ability to read information on-the-fly. ThunderHawk's compact transport format and progressive rendering creates a fast, positive user experience.
• Seamless connectivity. With ThunderHawk 2.0, a dropped connection is re-established immediately, along with any data you previously entered.
• The ability to copy and paste text, among other editing functions.
• Proxy authentication support.
While some browsers reformat the Web page for quick reading, users still have to scroll through several pages before finding the information they need. ThunderHawk 2.0 promotes effortless navigation on mobile devices because HTML Web pages look just as they would appear on desktop browsers users are already familiar with. As a result, images are full and crisp, text is sharp, and users can easily find and read information.
“Our ThunderHawk development goals always focus on delivering the best user experience for browsing Web pages on mobile devices,” said Anna Chagnon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bitstream. “This latest release meets our users’ expectations of being able to find information fast, and read Web pages quickly on their Pocket PCs. ThunderHawk enterprise clients will also appreciate this ease-of-use, especially when deploying business applications for access by mobile employees in the field.”
In addition to the security and flexibility benefits for corporations, ThunderHawk 2.0 Enterprise Server Edition has a new fully-configured appliance offering, where Bitstream provides both the software and the hardware for purchase. The advantage of this turnkey appliance is that the server software comes preconfigured so there is less of a burden on the enterprise IT department during the installation process.
TH is now the fastest browser on the PPC bar none. Excellent update.
