Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) creators of the award winning BOLT™ mobile browser, today announced the release of BOLT 2.3, with a host of new features to transform mobile phones of all types into powerful Internet devices. BOLT 2.3 adds HTML5 audio streaming to complement the HTML5 video streaming added in BOLT 2.1, and also includes enhanced inline text editing, cloud-based backup of customer’s favorites and the addition of Ustream.tv to the long international list of popular Flash video sites supported by BOLT.

HTML5 and Mobile Browsing on BOLT

Some of the largest online content providers and Web technology companies such as Google and Apple are embracing the use of the HTML5 standard, eliminating the need for third party add-ons, plug-ins and separate media players that have often created obstacles for viewing and listening to streaming media via the mobile Web. BOLT’s support of HTML5 allows handset manufacturers and mobile network operators to offer streaming media on the growing number of website designed for new mobile computing platforms such as the Apple iPad and Google Android tablets on the widest range of mobile devices.

Most Fully Featured Mobile Browser, Gets Even Better

BOLT has earned a reputation as the most fully featured mobile browser available, and with the 2.3 release, BOLT boosts its already powerful mobile browsing capabilities:

• Best Streaming Media Support – BOLT 2.3 now supports HTML5 streaming video and audio. BOLT offers the broadest support for streaming video in a mobile browser, with support for the most popular Flash based video sites and all HTML5 video sites.
• New Advanced Desktop Features – Along with the ability to perfectly render Web pages as they were meant to be seen from a PC, BOLT also offers tabbed browsing, password manager, advanced downloading and uploading capabilities and now advanced inline text entry and editing allowing people to enter and edit text directly in Web page forms without opening up a separate text editing window.
• Backed up in the Cloud – BOLT 2.3’s new favorites backup feature stores a user’s bookmarks on BOLT’s servers, allowing them to be restored if a user ever needs to change phones for any reason.
• New Mobile Widgets – BOLT widgets let people using any mobile phone take part in the mobile apps revolution. Bolt 2.3′s widget gallery features weather, Wikipedia, and dictionary widgets, along with an improved Twitter widget and a brand new Facebook widget.

Seregon Solutions Inc., a provider of Mobile Enterprise Application Platform software, today announced the widespread availability of DragonRAD™, a cross-platform mobile development tool that accelerates mobile application development and simplifies integration with back-office systems to deliver enterprise applications across any BlackBerry®, Android, or Windows Mobile™ device.

DragonRAD 4.0 is an evolution of SeregonMAP that allows enterprise application developers to connect to any database or Web service, build mobile applications quickly and easily in a visual drag and drop development environment, and deploy them to a wide array of mobile devices and operating systems. With DragonRAD, enterprise application developers build complex mobile applications in a fraction of the time of traditional development, and deploy them — royalty free — to an unlimited number of users.

CellTrak Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of integrated mobile solutions for home healthcare, turned to Seregon when a time-constrained opportunity arose to develop a complex application for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. “CellTrak has more than 10,000 users of our industry leading mobile Home Heathcare solution”, said Steve Wegner, chief technology officer at CellTrak. “Using Seregon’s Mobile Application Platform (now called DragonRAD), we were able to rapidly create a prototype, and iteratively incorporate customer feedback until the application was complete. The Seregon Platform truly allows you to decrease cost, development time and risk in mobilizing enterprise applications.”

DragonRAD’s support for BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile devices allows organizations to build and deliver their enterprise applications on multiple platforms with no added cost or effort, currently one of the largest obstacles preventing businesses from going mobile.

A Frost & Sullivan survey of 300 North American companies revealed that issues surrounding upfront costs continue to be cited as the key barrier to adoption for mobile enterprise applications. The cost to build custom mobile applications that integrate with current back-office systems has traditionally been unaffordable for most companies. DragonRAD helps to reduce this upfront cost with its rapid application development environment, ease of integration and synchronization of backend systems, and cross-platform support. Other features of the DragonRAD mobile development platform include:

• Cross-platform support for BlackBerry, Android, and Windows Mobile devices
• Easy-to-use drag and drop design environment
• Seamless integration with all SQL databases and Web Services (using custom data connectors)
• Native rapid application development
• One-button publish for over-the-air application delivery
• Powerful data triggers, event handlers, and push notification

DragonRAD is available as a free download from http://www.dragonrad.com/download. The Free version is fully featured and allows the development and testing of an unlimited number of applications but is limited to deployment to only two users. The unrestricted Enterprise version is available on an annual subscription at $4,900 per developer and allows the development of an unlimited number of applications and deployment to an unlimited number of users. More pricing information can be found at http://www.dragonrad.com/pricing.

Seregon is exhibiting at CTIA Enterprise & Applications™ being held in San Francisco October 5 to 8, and will be at booth #146.

About Seregon Solutions Inc.
Seregon delivers enterprise software development solutions that dramatically reduces the time and cost of mobile application creation, deployment, maintenance and administration.
