Windows Phone Thoughts: Spb Software House Puts Enterprises Back in Control with Spb Kiosk 2.0

"Spb Software House announces the release of Spb Kiosk 2.0, a critical application for putting enterprises in complete control of their Pocket PC assets. When Pocket PCs are deployed in an enterprise scenario, there will be specific applications installed on those devices designed to enhance and extend the productivity of the people using them. The question is, are your employees using the Pocket PCs in the manner in which you want them to?

...Spb Kiosk has the singular goal of locking the target Pocket PC into the mode of being a single-use device. The three different versions of Spb Kiosk address the needs of enterprise deployments in different ways. Spb Kiosk Explorer locks the device into Pocket Internet Explorer, which makes it perfect for Web-based applications, HTML-based demonstrations, and more. Kiosk Explorer also allows you to specify which buttons and menus are shown in the command bar. Spb Kiosk Terminal locks the device into the Terminal Services client, making it an ideal way to access server-based applications over a wireless data network. Kiosk Terminal includes an auto-login feature, making the process seamless for users. Spb Kiosk Engine, the most flexible of the three versions, allows the enterprise to specify custom applications as the focal point for the device."
