What the Industry Analysts are Saying About Intrinsyc

Dominique Bonte, ABI Research:
"Intrinsyc's Soleus consumer handheld device software platform based on Windows CE allows vendors to reduce development cycles of connected navigation solutions to less than six months. With seven product development wins, Intrinsyc is quickly becoming an important player in the handset and connected PND navigation market."
John Jackson, Yankee Group:
"Soaring R&D costs in the mobile device space are driving demand for platform solutions that offer rapid, low cost feature customization for OEMs and ODMs," explained John Jackson, senior analyst with Yankee Group. "A solution like Soleus from Intrinsyc Software aims squarely at manufacturers' need for a platform that lets them customize user interfaces for wireless operators and end-users while adding applications quickly and cost-effectively."
Iain Gillott, iGR Inc.:
"Most wireless operators have very specific requirements when it comes to the design, and look and feel of mobile handsets for their networks," said Iain Gillott, president of iGR, a marketing consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry. "To meet operators' specifications, the OEMs and ODMs are continually looking for solutions that will help them reduce costs and increase margins. The Soleus platform by Intrinsyc potentially provides them another tool in this endeavor and it will be interesting to see the impact it will have on the feature phone market."
David Kerr, Strategy Analytics:
"Handset vendors seeking to leverage high volume opportunities in the middle market for feature phones need a high-level OS such as Soleus – especially as the processors for this category of mobile phones continues to change," said David Kerr, vice president of the global wireless practice at Strategy Analytics. "With Soleus, a mobile platform based on Windows CE, Intrinsyc is providing another viable alternative to Symbian and Linux."
Michael Carroll, Informa's 'Mobile Handset Analyst':
"The first licensing agreement of the Windows CE-based Soleus product, highlights vendors ongoing interest in high-level OS platforms," says Michael Carroll, an editor at research firm Informa Telecoms & Media. "While the established manufacturers have focused on a platform-based approach for some years, the deal with TBD shows smaller vendors are also starting to realize the benefits platforms offer in terms of reduced time to market and production costs."
J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., MobileTrax:
"As feature phones become increasingly complicated with an array of new applications, handset manufacturers are looking for a way to quickly and economically develop phones," explained J. Gerry Purdy, Ph.D., principal analyst with MobileTrax. "A development platform, such as Soleus, allows manufacturers to incorporate varying features and user interface designs, enabling manufacturers to reduce development costs and exposure to risk."
David Linsalata, IDC, Mobile Markets:
"Faster time to market in the wireless world is absolutely essential," explains David Linsalata, research analyst with IDC. "At the same time, wireless players desire the ability to easily and flexibly customize their offerings. Solutions that offer a combination of these abilities are well positioned for success in the years to come."
Miro Kazakoff, Compete Inc.:
"As consumers interact with software and advanced functionality on their handset devices, they are becoming more aware of the Operating System," said Miro Kazakoff of Compete Inc. "The demand for more cell phone features, better functionality and increased personalization drives the need for more flexible OS solutions."
Neil Strother, NPD Group:
"Consumers are about to see more personalized feature phones on the market with entertainment capabilities like music and TV than they've seen before," said Neil Strother, research director for mobile devices at The NPD Group. "These integrated handsets could benefit from a software platform like Soleus that offers affordable customization options for OEMs, allows carriers a way to differentiate with a custom UI, and comes with a high-level OS on board."
