ULTRAMOTE® UNIVERSAL REMOTE SOFTWARE
ADDS SUPPORT FOR NEW WINDOWS MOBILE PHONE AND PDA MODELS
Extends Living Room Multitasking
from Channel Surfing to Web Surfing, Messaging and Phone Calls
UltraMote®
universal remote software is now available for a variety of Windows Mobile
Phone and PDA models based upon Marvell XScale 2xx-series processors with
internal infrared data (IrDA) ports. Examples of the new models supported
include the popular Verizon XV-6700 and Sprint PPC6700 smartphones. These
models and others provide integrated carrier data connections, WiFi and
Bluetooth, which can be used with UltraMote software remote control for
complete living room multitasking capability.
The UltraMote
software lets Pocket PC users channel surf, control their DVD players, set up
the VCR, control the audio, change the lighting, or control any number of tasks
related to the home theater, at a fraction of the cost of many dedicated
universal remotes. On those supported Pocket PC models with built in WiFi and
Bluetooth, users can simultaneously surf the web, download pictures, or even take a phone
call via their carrier or Skype.
The new UltraMote
software version provides twice the number of built-in skins, to enable users
to rapidly set up a range of “virtual remote screens” - each with a unique
visual appearance. Users can also create custom remote skins using their own
graphics, symbols, or photos or by combining graphics with the skin templates
from the UltraMote web site. Both the included skins and templates are
available in vertical and horizontal orientation to support various IrDA port
locations.
The UltraMote
software is available free for a 14-day trial by downloading from www.ultramote.com. UltraMote software is also
available in combination with the proprietary UltraMote Extender CF card for
added range on select models. UltraMote software is priced at $15 US per
device. The combination package of the UltraMote software and UltraMote
Extender card is priced $35
