Magicomm demonstrated its pre-release Android version of Mercury on a Google Nexus One at the Anoto conference in Barcelona during October. The challenge had been to get Mercury running on the wide variety of devices that run Andoid. That has now been achieved.

Garry Hollinshead, Magicomm’s CEO commented; “Android is set to be the number one operating system for Smart Phones. We’ve enjoyed working on this Mercury development and are very pleased with the performance and reliability. Everyone in the company has joined the revolution and moved over to Android.”

The functionality that Magicomm has included for smart phones running Android 2.1, 2.2 and the soon to be released “gingerbread” is as follows:

• Auto and Manual Start
• Folder Monitoring for PGC Files
• Ability to change target URL and discriminate between Pattern IDs
• Auto connect through GPRS / WIFI
• Auto sizing to take full advantage of larger screens
• High quality image rendering for high-resolution screen displays
• Attachment of GPS data for attaching to forms and tracking staff
• Photographs and or videos can be simply added from within the Mercury application – No need to go to Gallery. Once delivered photos and videos are automatically removed from the device.
• Voice tags can now be appended to forms from with the Mercury application and automatically deleted once sent
• Taking advantage of the quality bar code reader on Android, these can be read and the associated number transmitted with the form’s data
• Push Technology for messaging.

This important addition demonstrates Magicomm’s commitment to be at the forefront of digital pen technology.
