Sprite Mobile Partners With Socket Mobile to Provide Data Backup Capabilities for the SoMo 650 Handheld Computer
NEWARK, CA--(Marketwire - November 10, 2009) - Socket Mobile, Inc. (
"Forming partnerships with top companies in the business mobility space is an important focus for us right now," said Julian Rayner, CEO of Sprite Mobile. "Socket Mobile exhibits the qualities and characteristics we're looking for in terms of partnerships, and we're happy to be part of their STAR program."
"Sprite Mobile is an excellent addition to our STAR Program, and we're pleased to have them as our first STAR software vendor," said Ron Gibbs, Sr. product manager and [ STAR Program ] manager at Socket Mobile. "Having a backup solution built into the SoMo 650 handheld computer ROM is essential because many Socket customers use their devices every day and depend on them to efficiently run their business. It's common for our customers to store business-critical data and applications on their devices, and having the Sprite Backup software available to protect that information from loss or corruption provides a valuable component to any mobile technology deployment."
"From a device management perspective, Sprite Backup makes the SoMo 650 even more enterprise-ready," said Len Ott, CTO of Socket Mobile. "It assists support teams and companies deploying a number of handheld devices into the field by making it easy to restore data if they encounter any issues. In addition, there are various levels of restore capabilities, so you don't always have to perform a complete restore of your device -- you can bring back selective parts if necessary."
