Designed for ease of use, it plugs into a telephone jack or LAN connection for Internet hookup.  and embedded Inserted into. See embedded system.  devices, today reported revenue of $3.05 million for its second quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1.51 million in the first quarter 2000, an increase of 102%.

 was $0.60 million or $0.04 per share, compared to $3.16 million or $0.22 a quarter ago. Because Insignia exited its historical business through the sale of its SoftWindows product line in October 1999, the company's operating results for the year-ago period are not meaningful for comparative purposes.

The company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.0 million at the end of the second quarter, as well as an additional $4.0 million available under a line of credit attained during the first quarter of 2000.

See digitizer tablet and tablet computer. . These design wins -- as well as the customer and distribution announcements we've made in previous quarters -- clearly validate our reputation as the technology leader in deploying accelerated Java solutions to the fast-growing Internet appliance and wireless device markets. Our industry stature is further demonstrated by the selection of our chief technology officer, Jon Hoskin, to participate in the Java 2 Micro Edition Executive Committee of the Java Community Process Sun's system for allowing third parties to submit requests for new features to Java. JCP is a formal process that must be adhered to, and fees are involved. In 1999, Sun submitted Java to the ECMA standards body, but withdrew its J2SE specification later in the year.  -- a governing body Noun 1. governing body - the persons (or committees or departments etc.) who make up a body for the purpose of administering something; "he claims that the present administration is corrupt"; "the governance of an association is responsible to its members"; "he  in which we are by far the smallest organization."

"For the past two quarters, we have been pleased to report that Jeode platform revenues have nearly doubled compared to the previous quarter," Noling continued. "For the upcoming third quarter, we expect to see continued acceleration in the adoption of the Jeode platform. Due to revenue recognition factors not all this growth will necessarily translate into revenue during the quarter. Consequently, third quarter revenues are currently difficult to precisely predict."
