InHand Previews Latest BatterySmart Software at Windows Embedded DevCon
San Diego, CA, June 29th, 2004—InHand
Electronics, Inc., a leading provider of low-power handheld and
wireless device platform technologies, today detailed the featured
technologies and products that will be shown at its booth #207 at the
Windows Embedded Developers’ Conference.
InHand
will be debuting version 3 of its award-winning BatterySmart dynamic
power management software for handheld and wireless devices. This
software, slated for release this summer, includes major new
technologies in dynamic run-time power and performance management on
handheld and wireless devices. The patent-pending BatterySmart analysis
algorithms now include on-the-fly core voltage adjustment in tandem
with clock frequency adjustment, and the algorithms incorporate a more
nuanced view of device performance, all while maintaining the low
computational overhead of earlier versions of BatterySmart. Developers
that incorporate the new BatterySmart software into their device
designs can expect significantly greater reductions in energy
consumption and longer battery life. Furthermore, developers will now
have an extensive application programming interface (API) that will
allow them to fully understand and integrate power and performance
issues into their device designs.
“With
the new BatterySmart, InHand is capitalizing on several years of
advanced research in dynamic power management for battery-operated
devices,” said Andrew Girson, InHand’s CEO. “Developers that use
InHand’s BatterySmart now have complete control over the run-time power
management aspects of their designs, to an extent not previously
possible.”
InHand
will be demonstrating BatterySmart on its standard handheld/wireless
reference platforms, including the Elf3 and Fingertip3. These platforms
are based on Intel’s PXA255 (“XScale”) microprocessor and Microsoft’s
Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system, and incorporate advanced low-power
technologies, including run-time core voltage adjustment.
InHand
also will be demonstrating several customer products, including a
handheld voice translation device and an advanced handheld GPS receiver.
Additionally,
InHand will brief customers and editors on its upcoming next-generation
reference platforms. These next-generation platforms will incorporate
Intel’s new PXA270 (“Bulverde”) microprocessor and sophisticated
wireless and power management software technologies, all within
InHand’s trademark small form factor designs.
Microsoft’s Windows Embedded Developers’ Conference takes place June 29th through July 1st
at the San Diego Convention Center. To arrange an appointment for an
editor briefing, please contact Rebecca Mettler at 703-867-7897.
