Original Press Release:
ThinPrint Introduces Updated Content Beamer for BlackBerry 2.5, a Mobile Document Output System (MDOS) for BlackBerry
BERLIN, August 16 -- New Version of Content Beamer for BlackBerry 2.5 Enables BlackBerry Users to Display, Print and Fax Documents
ThinPrint, a member of RIM's ISV Alliance Partner Program, has launched the Content Beamer for BlackBerry(R) 2.5, a mobile document output system (MDOS). The updated application enables BlackBerry users to print, fax and view documents that they receive via email. Along with the existing features of the Content Beamer for BlackBerry, such as printing via Bluetooth printers or network printers, the update allows users to send files to fax machines and to display and save compressed files on a laptop screen. As with the original software, features are not restricted to any particular file-type. Via the "Print-to-Screen" function, users can easily display Powerpoint files and CAD-files, a format frequently used in the construction industry. "Print-to-Screen" works via Bluetooth and will show a compressed read-only file on a PC or laptop display. Users can also send files direct to a fax machine, which is practical when there is no printer available.
Businesses which require their staff to print documents while on the move will benefit from the new software. Content Beamer for BlackBerry(R) 2.5 helps staff to be more productive and flexible, removing the costs usually involved with wireless access or the use of business centers for printing. ThinPrint's own adaptive compression mechanism, which compresses up to 98%, ensures that very little data volume is sent across the mobile connection, keeping connection charges to a minimum.
"The new version of Content Beamer gives BlackBerry users several options for working with mailed documents intelligently to achieve productive mobile working," said Carsten Mickeleit, Managing Director at ThinPrint GmbH.
Drivers working for logistics companies can now print documents immediately via the Bluetooth printers they carry on board. Also, construction plans or other large format CAD files can be conveniently viewed when sent via "Print-to-Screen" at any site.
Until August 31, 2006, Content Beamer Corporate will be available at a discount price of 980 Euro plus tax, for three users including an update service.
