Spb Software House Gives Enterprises More Control Over Their Pocket PC With Kiosk 4.0

Posted by: dgoldring on Jan 31 2007

 

Spb Software House announced, today, the release of Spb Kiosk 4.0, a new version of their famous enterprise-oriented application.  The primary function of Spb Kiosk is to lock your Pocket PC, so that only the applications required by an enterprise can be accessed, thus converting a generic Pocket PC device into a specialized business tool.

The new release of Spb Kiosk uses advanced, low-level techniques to work with system drivers and intercept API calls. Now as a device administrator, you have true control over every application on the device. Only explicitly allowed executables can be started.

Spb Kiosk 4.0 introduces a number of new features, including:

• Full Windows Mobile 5.0 support
• Improved performance and battery life in kiosk mode
• Precise control over allowed Control Panel applets
• Battery indicator
• Kiosk Start menu
• Customizable icons and background in Kiosk Switcher
• URL Filter
• True full screen mode for Terminal Services Client
• And more…

 

Spb Kiosk Engine comes in 3 editions, each providing kiosk mode for a different type of applications.

Spb Kiosk Explorer provides kiosk mode for Pocket Internet Explorer. With Kiosk Explorer enterprises can create kiosk solutions based on web-applications.

Spb Kiosk Terminal provides kiosk mode for Terminal Services Client. Kiosk Terminal allows creating kiosks that run an application from a Windows Terminal Server.

Spb Kiosk Engine can run one or several custom Pocket PC applications in a kiosk mode and provides means to switch between them.

Spb Kiosk is currently available in English, Czech, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Other language versions will be available shortly. A free 15-day trial version can be downloaded, or the full version can be purchased from the Spb website for only $495 for the Explorer and Terminal Editions, or $985 for the Engine Edition.
