Intrinsyc Software International, a global wireless software solutions provider, has announced the release of Soleus version 1.50. Soleus is a proven software platform for smart consumer phones, connected personal navigation devices (PND) and media-centric handhelds based on Windows Embedded CE. Soleus version 1.50 will enable device makers to build handsets that can support third-generation (3G/3.5G) high-speed HSDPA and HSUPA data connections, while also allowing differentiation through unique customization of compelling user-interfaces (UI) and applications. 
This latest Soleus software release delivers important features for the development of next-generation handhelds, and enables a breakthrough mobile device by Quanta Computer expected later this year, says Intrinsyc CEO and Chairman, Glenda Dorchak. Intrinsyc continues to innovate on Soleus, recognizing the increasing value of the application and UI software that enables compelling user experiences and expedites development of unique feature-rich handhelds, with our existing and future customers.
Building on Intrinsycs reputation as an innovative provider of wireless software solutions, Soleus version 1.50 includes a new level of flexibility in data connection management for both the device maker and end-user. The new Soleus Network Connection Manager delivers a framework to allow multiple GPRS, UMTS and other Internet Protocol (IP) connections, such as wi-fi, to be used simultaneously. This latest version of Soleus can also be combined with Microsoft Windows Embedded NavReady to provide an optimized solution for the development of connected Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs).
Leading wireless device makers are using Soleus to speed development of GPS-enabled navigation devices that deliver real-time traffic reports and point-of-interest updates, as well as let end-users stay connected with messaging, phone, and email.
Intrinsyc offers complete software solutions to makers of media-centric connected handheld devices, enabling the differentiation and customization of applications and user-interfaces across multiple platforms. With the pending acquisition of strategic assets of navigation software provider Destinator Technologies, Intrinsyc says it will further strengthen its offering to the connected PND and GPS-enabled handset market.
