Customer Response Driving Support for Additional Smartphones
Celio Corp., an innovator of seamless and efficient mobile solutions for the smartphone market, today announced it is planning support for Windows Mobile 6.1 and 12 additional smartphone models during Q2 2008. New smartphones include leading Windows Mobile standard models, including the Motorola Q and Samsung Blackjack II. A list of compatible smartphones is available at www.celiocorp.com/smartphone. Pre-orders for the REDFLY begin immediately, and companies interested in purchasing REDFLY can order evaluation units for demo or testing at www.getredfly.com.
Measuring just 1×6x9 inches and less than two pounds, and offering more than eight hours of battery life, the REDFLY Mobile Companion is a ground-breaking new device that extends the smartphone platform to a larger display, keyboard, and touchpad mouse, using REDFLY’s universal software and hardware technology. REDFLY is a critical new solution to the enterprise mobile market because it gives greater functionality to the smartphone without increasing the security risk of data loss or network access, because all data and applications remain on the smartphone.
“The REDFLY makes maximum use of the smartphone without requiring the setup and configuration or the backup and management of an ultralight mobile PC,” said Kirt Bailey, Celio president and CEO. “Its influence on TCO and Data Loss Prevention in the enterprise is profound, and for corporate customers these are typically some the largest factors that are driving their purchase decisions for REDFLY.”
Company officials noted that Windows Mobile 6.1 compatibility is particularly important due to the new features of Microsoft SCMDM (Security Center Mobile Device Management). This new functionality allows enterprise IT managers to manage these mobile devices much more easily within the corporate environment, and to push applications, security settings and transparently manage devices out in the field.
With today’s announcement, the company reported plans to add the following 12 new phones to its list of supported smartphones. Beta release dates will be announced during Q2 2008.

Note: The Palm Treo 750 software is complete and will be available with the previously released list of compatible smartphones at www.celiocorp.com/smartphone.
“As a result of the high demand for the REDFLY Mobile Companion, Celio Corp. is dramatically extending the list of phones entering beta test. Because of the variation in smartphone designs and the sophistication of the REDFLY software, each phone requires individual development and testing,” said Bailey. “Celio will add phones quickly, based upon market conditions and volume opportunities. Many of the additional phones are in beta today and software will be released for individual phones during Q2 2008.”
