Some of the biggest issues facing corporations and governments who want to implement smartphones across their businesses is configuration, support, and device security. And while there are many ways to do this from the server -- either Microsoft Exchange and BlackBerry Enterprise Server -- there are not a lot of ways to successfully lock down a device from being "personalized" or compromised by malicious software.
Spb's latest program, Spb Kiosk 4.0, seeks to remedy this by actively locking out applications from affecting the system kernel and other operations with its device manager/configuration utility.
Spb Kiosk puts a device into a kiosk mode, which enables only access to specific, IT administrator defined applications and web sites, while also enhancing device security.
Many administrators will think that, thanks to features such as a kernel-level application block, start menu, control panel, and task bar blocking, and URL Filter, Spb Kiosk is ideal for deployments of Windows Mobile Smartphones and wireless Pocket PC devices.
Spb Kiosk Engine comes in 3 editions, Spb Kiosk Explorer, Spb Kiosk Terminal, and Spb Kiosk Engine. Each edition as a different pricing scheme ($495 for Explorer and Terminal editions and $985 for Engine edition). A free trial version can be downloaded, or the full version can be purchased from www.spbsoftwarehouse.com.
