ThinPrint Launches Updated Content Beamer for BlackBerry 2.5

ThinPrint has launched the Content Beamer for BlackBerry 2.5, a mobile document output system (MDOS). The updated application enables BlackBerry users to print, fax and view documents that they receive via email.

Along with the existing features of the Content Beamer for BlackBerry, such as printing via Bluetooth printers or network printers, the update allows users to send files to fax machines and to display and save compressed files on a laptop screen. As with the original software, features are not restricted to any particular file-type. Via the "Print-to-Screen" function, users can easily display Powerpoint files and CAD-files, a format frequently used in the construction industry. "Print-to-Screen" works via Bluetooth and will show a compressed read-only file on a PC or laptop display. Users can also send files directly to a fax machine, which is practical when there is no printer available.

Businesses which require their staff to print documents while on the move will benefit from the new software. Content Beamer for BlackBerry 2.5 helps staff to be more productive and flexible, removing the costs usually involved with wireless access or the use of business centers for printing. ThinPrint's own adaptive compression mechanism, with compresses up to 98%, ensures that very little data volume is sent across the mobile connection, keeping connection charges to a minimum.

"The new version of Content Beamer gives BlackBerry users several options for working with mailed documents intelligently to achieve productive mobile working," said Carsten Mickeleit, Managing Director at ThinPrint GmbH.
