NEW Salling Clicker released, enhances media center features, adds device support
Stockholm, Sweden—July 19, 2004—Salling Software AB today announced the immediate availability of Salling Clicker v.2.2, an update to its award-winning remote control utility for Macintosh computers. The new version adds localizations, support for new phone models, and works with more applications to truly turn your Mac into the home's digital hub.
"From the very first release, many of our customers have been using Salling Clicker to control iTunes," said Jonas Salling, President of Salling Software AB. "With Apple shipping AirPort Express this month, I think many will find that Salling Clicker is the perfect remote control for AirTunes". We are inundated with requests to provide Salling Clicker support for a wide range of new audio/video players and adapters; in version 2.2 we include support for popular media accessories, such as EyeTV from Elgato and the Squeezebox audio player from Slim Devices. "This is really positive news for our users, new and old, as it is the beginning of many new opportunities for Salling Clicker to add value to a diverse range of new devices and appliances" commented Mr. Salling.
One of the more popular uses of Salling Clicker is as a presentation controller. "Customers have told us how much they appreciate seeing slide notes in their handheld, giving them an edge for important presentations," said Mr. Salling. "In our new version, we are bringing even more value to these users as they can now also preview the title of the upcoming slide from PowerPoint 2004."
The updated device support in Salling Clicker v.2.2 includes Sendo X, Motorola A925, Nokia 7610, palmOne Zire 72, TapWave Zodiac, and Sony Ericsson T637. There is also preliminary support for the new K700 and Z1010 models from Sony Ericsson.
Speaking of support for the K700 and Z1010 models in particular, Mr. Salling said, "We are committed to the Sony Ericsson platform and look forward to delivering complete support for all models. However, until Sony Ericsson resolves certain problems in their new K700 and Z1010 models, Salling Clicker can only provide limited support. We hope that a firmware upgrade will address these shortcomings."
In summary, Salling Clicker v.2.2 offers the following major benefits over its predecessor:
• Brand-new support for EyeTV, Squeezebox, Mail, VLC, and more;
• Italian, French, German, and Russian localizations;
• Ability to initiate connections from Symbian OS smartphones;
• Upcoming slide titles shown with PowerPoint 2004;
• Enhanced Symbian OS and Palm OS clients; and
• Support for more than 30 models of mobile phones and PDAs.
