SIMtone Presented Universal Cloud Terminal At The Consumer Electronics Show

SIMtone Corporation announced the launch of its second generation of SIMtone “SNAP” universal cloud terminals at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The new devices are the first to break the $100 price barrier and deliver fast, powerful “on-demand” access to applications and media/communication services hosted on Windows, Linux or Media Virtual PCs.

“The new SIMtone products set a new price and performance standard that is uniquely positioned to take advantage of these growing trends. We just broke a barrier that will allow billions of people to afford and use Cloud services.”, said the SIMtone CEO, Mario Dal Canto.

Cloud services are lowering the cost of computing by eliminating the need for a full PC while also enhancing the user experience for other devices such as accessing the mobile Internet.

“Power them on, type your ID and you instantly have extraordinary browsing and download speeds with no compatibility issues, no complications or configuration, and for a one-hundred dollar price tag,” says Dal Canto.

Both the SNAP Two desktop/set-top terminal and the SNAPbook Two Wireless netbook terminal will be available from SIMtone carriers starting in Q1, 2010, and are the first ultra-low-cost, cloud-enabled solutions featuring plug-and-play wireless and wireline connectivity with zero-configuration and maintenance.
