Smith Micro Launches StuffIt Deluxe 11 for Vista
Vista Suite Adds Optimized Compression of Office 2007 Documents, Improves Patent Pending Lossless JPEG Compression
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., May 3 -- Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI), a leading provider of software and services for the wireless and consumer marketplace today released StuffIt Deluxe(R) 11, the newest version of its compression, access, and management solution for Windows. From its revolutionary patent-pending JPEG image compression technology to a newly developed compression method for Microsoft Office 2007 files, StuffIt Deluxe 11 continues to help Smith Micro's leadership position in the image and data compression field.
The StuffIt Deluxe complete information management tool is redesigned for Windows Vista, optimized for multi-core processors, and includes a suite of compression and file transfer tools that enable users to compress, access, protect, send, backup and organize sensitive and valuable files on their PC. StuffIt Deluxe also compresses Word and Excel documents as well as large file types such as PowerPoint presentations.
"StuffIt Deluxe version 11 continues our strong track record of innovation in the field of data compression," said Matthew Covington, Director of Compression Solutions. "Its new optimized compression for Office 2007 documents, combined with our exclusive JPEG compression technology, gives StuffIt Deluxe a significant advantage when sharing files over the Internet by reducing file sizes, and therefore transfer times."
The new release places a continued emphasis on security, adding support for creating Zip archives with 256 bit strong encryption, and includes new features to help guarantee the authenticity of archives that are exchanged between users. StuffIt Deluxe adds CD and DVD burning to support those users looking for a quick and easy file backup solution, and a new indexing service to manage archived data whether stored on or off their PC.
