(MENAFN - Asia Pulse) Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PTEC), the leader in PC 3.0(TM) products, services and embedded technologies, today announced a strategic agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd to bring to market notebooks and netbooks that are instant on/off, more user-friendly, fun, automated and secure, with extended battery life.
"All-day, instant-on and always-connected mobile computing is the very foundation of our PC 3.0 vision," said Woody Hobbs, President and CEO of Phoenix Technologies. "Consumers expect their notebook PCs and netbooks to perform with the speed, predictability and agility of smartphones and Phoenix is very pleased to be working with Samsung to offer this user experience to Samsung's notebook and netbook product lines. We want consumers to fall in love with their PCs."
Mobile PC users are driving the demand for ultra-mobile PCs and netbooks, an emerging category of small, lightweight and inexpensive computing devices with exploding sales. Gartner predicts netbook shipments will reach 25 million units by the end of the year. As a mobile device aimed at today's on-the-move consumers, netbooks work best with a light footprint and highly efficient operating system to deliver instant all-day connectivity to the Internet and web-based applications.
Samsung's PC division executives said, "As the world's fastest growing vendor in the ultra mobile computing market, Samsung is committed to bring to market innovative technology solutions that simplify consumers' lives.
Working with Phoenix, we plan to deliver next-generation mobile devices with innovative and intuitive on-the-go computing solutions that fit the emerging needs and desires of our mobile consumers."
"Samsung and Phoenix are jointly working to meet consumer needs for instant-on PCs and all-day mobile computing devices,"
said leading industry analyst and mobile PC futurist Tim Barjarin of Creative Strategies. "With HyperSpace, Phoenix is on track to change the way people actually use a PC.
Consumers will now be able to use Samsung netbooks throughout the day and have smart connectivity options just like smartphones."
