IVT Releases BlueSoleil V6.0 Mobile Edition

IVT Corporation, the Bluetooth technology specialist, announced at the Bluetooth Developers Conference in Japan that BlueSoleil V6.0 Mobile Edition has now been released, supporting Microsoft Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

In addition to the wide range of Bluetooth profiles which BlueSoleil V5.0 supports, this latest version also allows users to download their contacts from their Bluetooth mobile phone to a PC/Laptop, or to edit a contact on their PC/Laptop and then upload the new contact to a mobile phone. They can also download SMS's from their mobile phone and send SMS's via their mobile phone from their PC/Laptop, and transfer files and images between their phone and PC/Laptop. BlueSoleil Mobile Edition also supports One Click Dial Up Networking, allowing a PC/Laptop to connect to the internet via a mobile phone. All these features can be handled from a simple single user interface without installation of additional phone tool software.

"In a world of increasing mobile phone churn, BlueSoleil Mobile Edition, now enables end users to change phone brands without losing personal data on the phone or indeed work with multiple phones with a single PC/Laptop, without having to install different phone tools for each phone," said Alan Buckley, IVT Executive Technical Director. BlueSoleil Mobile edition supports Bluetooth enabled mobile phones from the world's top mobile phone vendors, such as Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and LG.

BlueSoleil V6.0 Mobile Edition was developed upon version V5.0, which supports a dual user interface: Windows Vista style embedding the BlueSoleil functionality into Explorer; and traditional BlueSoleil style presenting your Bluetooth enabled PC/laptop as a sun icon with its peripherals presented as icons around the sun. BlueSoleil has a current licensed user base of over 22 million users.

IVT has recently licensed BlueSoleil Mobile Edition to Lenovo for its flagship desktops PC with customized GUI
