STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 2, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- TrustLink AB today revealed that it is currently porting its leading mobile applications to the Linux platform as a step in its product evolution strategy. Support for Linux was admitted as being part of the development effort currently underway that will result in the next major versions of TrustLink's software. TrustLink expects to release its first product that supports (embedded) Linux in Q3 2002.
"This fits in with our overall product strategy - we provide our applications on all leading handheld platforms," said Mats Bergstrom, Managing Director of TrustLink AB. "We believe that Linux is establishing itself as a player in this market, so the progression was natural. Devices that support Linux such as Sharp's Zaurus are already creating a great deal of interest. The port to Linux also reveals the strength of our product's design - we can quickly and easily provide support for new platforms."
