A leading provider of emulation solutions for all PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers running OS X 10.3 or later, iEmulator.com, has announced iEmulator Touch, offering a full touch-enabled PC emulator environment for iPhone and iPod Touch users running firmware version 2.0. John Czlonka, General Manager of iEmulator.com said: "The complete internal redevelopment of iEmulator is wrapping up very soon". "We felt it was a perfect opportunity to also provide PC emulation functionality to the leading mobile computing and connectivity platform: the iPhone and iPod Touch."
He went on to say: "Apple's new iPhone and iPod Touch software development kit is allowing us to quickly port iEmulator to these innovative devices". "It's an amazing development and operating environment."
John said:
"Imagine being able to run most popular PC software anywhere, with full Internet connectivity, without having to lug a notebook PC around". "It's a fundamental shift in how people will use mobile devices, and makes thousands of new applications available for the platform."
There will be some limitations with iEmulator for OS X Touch: no physical CD or DVD access will be initially available, but iEmulator.com is already developing work-arounds for this hardware limitation. "The iPhone and iPod Touch have phenomenal connectivity options. Downloading and using PC software and data on the devices from the Internet or a host Mac or PC will not prove problematic."
Richard Peters, director of Technical and Customer Services said: "We'll be offering a couple of different iEmulator Touch packages". "One of these will be a complete, stand-alone Windows compatible environment which will enable iEmulator Touch customers to use popular Windows software 'right out of the box'. We want to ensure that using iEmulator Touch is as easy as possible."
Shortly after iEmulator 1.8.0 for Mac OS X is released in the second quarter of 2008, iEmulator Touch will be available also. Pricing has not yet been set, but iEmulator.com has always strived to provide powerful, usable, well-documented and well-supported emulation solutions at the lowest possible price, and iEmulator Touch will not be an exception to this rule.
