QuickLink Spins Pocket PCs onto the WebBy Susan Hospod The Wireless & Broadband Division of Smith Micro Software released QuickLink Mobile for Pocket PC, a software program that wirelessly connects Windows CE-based handheld computers to the Internet through a mobile phone via a data cable. The solution gives Pocket PC users access to email and the Web. QuickLink Mobile for Pocket PC can be used to wireless-enable any handheld utilizing Windows CE 3.0 or later. It operates via a mobile phone-specific data cable that attaches to the data or charger port on the phone and the sync port on the handheld. The QuickLink software installs on the user's Pocket PC to transform data-capable mobile phones into wireless modems. An installation program simplifies user configuration of phones and creates a new dial-up connection in minutes. QuickLink Mobile for Pocket PC also gives users the options of filtering graphics to accelerate Web page downloads, tracking the duration of online sessions for compliance with time-based service agreements, and viewing signal and battery strength of mobile phones in the main application window. Plus, since the Windows Pocket PC operating system includes Microsoft Internet Explorer, no third-party applications are required to surf the Web from the user's handheld device. QuickLink Mobile for Pocket PC, the third platform in the QuickLink Mobile line, can either be bundled by mobile phone manufacturers, service providers, and handheld computer suppliers or purchased for individual use by end users. It will be available in the 4th quarter of 2001. Link: |
