Clearview Software International, a leading provider of software
tools and services that integrate Windows technology into
host-based, legacy applications, today announced the availability
of tWinrunner for the Panasonic Toughbook® line of devices. In
particular, tWinrunner allows Windows Mobile and Windows CE
applications to run in emulation mode on the Toughbook U1 Ultra, a
device that combines the portability of a handheld computer, the
benefits of a full Windows OS, the durability needed for enterprise
applications and a suite of available integrated features.
The migration path from a Mobile OS to a full Windows OS
requires rewriting of a corporation’s existing software
applications, which can be time-consuming and costly, causing down
time for mobile workforces in mission-critical environments,
incurring additional costs and reducing a company’s bottom line.
tWinrunner is an essential tool for any company that is looking to
migrate existing software applications that run on the abbreviated
and limited operating systems currently used on handheld solutions.
This product allows Windows Mobile and Windows CE applications to
run in emulation mode on the Toughbook U1 using Windows 7.0 or XP
Operating Systems, without the need to rewrite or modify their
current settings.
“Clearview provides a simple transition for companies wishing to
move from handheld devices running a pared-down OS to
full-functioning solutions leveraging a feature-rich operating
system,” said Ed McCabe, National Sales Manager, Supply Chain
Logistics, Panasonic Solutions Company. “The combination of
Clearview’s tWinrunner and a rugged handheld like the Toughbook U1
Ultra allows companies to benefit from their legacy software
investments, while creating the opportunity to use off-the-shelf
Windows software and the numerous integrated features found in
Toughbook devices.”
Markets that can benefit from this solution include warehousing,
distribution, direct store delivery, route delivery and field
service. Clearview’s software and a reliable Toughbook U1 Ultra
computer equip mobile workforces with the full Windows-based
handheld device capable of withstanding harsh work environments and
running existing applications, while leveraging new hardware
features, including optional features, such as bar code scanner,
GPS, RFID and an integrated camera. With this solution, IT managers
are free to leverage past investments while embracing future
opportunities.
Clearview’s tWinrunner allows CE and Windows Mobile Applications
to run under Microsoft’s Desktop Windows (7 and XP), eliminates the
hassle of doing costly application porting from CE and/or Windows
Mobile to “Big” Windows, provides a data portal from Windows Mobile
to “Big” Windows Applications running on the same device, and
supports product growth from small CE and Windows Mobile terminals
to larger screen devices.
“With tWinrunner, businesses can protect and extend their
investment in mobile applications without modifications to their
existing applications. Panasonic and Clearview will allow customers
to place their applications on new devices that have more memory,
faster processing speed and a more powerful operating environment,”
said Richard Lowney, CEO of Clearview. “Our products have a twofold
purpose; first protect customers’ existing software investment, and
second provide a more robust technology arena to allow customers to
add new functionality and attain a higher performance for their
workforce.”
The Toughbook U1 Ultra features a number of usability and
navigation features, including enlarged screen icons, programmable
“right click” onscreen button, a larger soft keyboard, a “zoom and
pan” mode – allowing users to simply navigate robust content and
soft “Ctrl+Alt+Del” for log-on access. The optional 2 megapixel
camera features updated software to offer faster auto-focus and
improved white balancing, while the optional barcode reader has
been improved with new software that allows for onboard, data and
symbology configuration. The new Toughbook U1 Ultra is equipped
with a TransflectivePlus display for up to 6000 nit viewability in
direct sunlight.
Another product well suited for the tWinrunner software is
Panasonic’s Toughbook H1 Field, a rugged handheld tablet PC. The
device enables extreme mobility and productivity for field sales
personnel, first responders, supervisors, inspectors, maintenance
workers and other highly-mobile professionals. The solution offers
both, the tablet and touchscreen functionality, exceptional
ergonomics, including a Panasonic-designed system that cradles the
hand between the device and its molded hand strap, and it weighs
only 3.4 lbs.

Clearview’s tWinrunner is available immediately through
Clearview and from authorized Panasonic resellers and distributors.
The Toughbook U1 Ultra is available in the United States from
authorized Panasonic resellers and distributors, starting at an
