This INSGY news should be good for a pop today, IMO. Thursday April 8, 7:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Insignia Solutions Insignia Announces First Release of the Jeode Platform for Windows CE Additional Operating Systems Supported: Available Immediately FREMONT, Calif., April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Insignia Solutions® (Nasdaq: INSGY - news) announced today that it has released version 1.0 of the Jeode(TM) platform. Embedded systems developers of Windows® CE-based embedded devices can now enjoy many of the benefits of JavA® technology and its support of the Internet. The Jeode platform is Insignia's implementation of Java technology designed to be compatible with Sun's Java specification for embedded systems. The Jeode platform is also immediately available for developing Java applications on Windows NT and Linux-based embedded systems. There has been growing uncertainty about the on-going availability of a Java-compatible solution for the Windows CE platform. As recently reported in InformationWeek, ''Microsoft is moving further away from Java.'' This has left some Java developers wondering where they could turn for a Java-compatible platform for Windows CE, and how they could deliver their Java applications to the market. Fortunately, as the first company licensed by Sun to deliver a clean-room Java-compatible virtual machine, Insignia has released the Jeode platform for use by these Windows CE Java developers. ''Java applications developers and users now have a highly suitable Java-compatible virtual machine for the Windows CE platform and other embedded operating system environments,'' said Richard M. Noling, president and chief executive officer of Insignia Solutions. ''We have successfully parlayed our 300 plus man years of experience developing virtual machines for resource-constrained computing platforms to deliver the Jeode platform, which we believe offers optimal performance and behavior for embedded devices.'' Insignia Solutions Insignia Solutions is a leading provider of virtual machine technology that dynamically optimizes the use of available system resources. The Jeode platform is Insignia's implementation of Sun's Java technology specifically designed for embedded systems. It allows developers to create reliable, efficient and predictable embedded devices that are enabled by the Company's Embedded Virtual Machine(TM) (EVM(TM)).
