Magi P2P Technology Gives Peer Status To HP's Jornada; New Peer-to-Peer Software Makes HP's Device a Better Node for Collaborative Workflow Over the Web.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers IRVINE, Calif. & READING, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2001 Endeavors Technology Inc., leader in peer-to-peer software for Web devices, today announced Magi P2P See peer-to-peer and point-to-point. software for Hewlett Packard's Jornada(TM) Pocket PC. The software extends the functionality of HP's device and makes it a better node for collaborative workflow over the Web. Now part of its Magi Enterprise embedded product line, the new P2P software from Endeavors Technology transforms the Jornada handheld into an "unequal" peer capable of two-way interaction for the first time with desktops, workstations, servers, and other palmtops. Since January 2001, Endeavors Technology has firmly stamped its leadership in P2P device technology. Examples: Magi software has been rolled-out for Compaq's iPAQ Pocket PC(TM) and the firm has also made small footprint software available to developers enabling them to port applications to Palm OS devices It may never be fully completed or, depending on its its nature, it may be that it can never be completed. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome. This is a list of Palm OS devices, and companies that make, or have made, them. . Through its Magi suite of P2P software, Endeavors' driving goal is that all Web-enabled devices, from palmtops through mainframes, will become fully interoperable peers, despite their unequal capabilities. The growing collection of Magi-enabled devices is transforming the Internet into a rich and seamless, two-way environment where P2P collaboration across all Web-enabled devices provides secure access to any information from anywhere, at anytime. The HP Jornada runs on the Microsoft(R) Windows(R) for Pocket PC operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. and Magi is installed as middleware to turn the client device also into a personal server. This allows the Jornada to communicate as a true peer with any Magi-enabled desktop or device. Available as licensed technology, the Jornada P2P software opens the opportunity for companies to extend their business models beyond the wired world. Analysts and Executive Comments "P2P-enabled PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). devices are natural launchpads for a new, more effective way of working. Being connected to the Internet is one thing, but being part of P2P wireless workgroups is a real booster for productivity," said Walid Mougayar, P2P analyst and founder, PeerIntelligence.com. "With this Magi product for HP's Jornada, Endeavors demonstrates its P2P leadership in making device-edge information more accessible across the enterprise." Anne Zieger, chief analyst at PeerToPeerCentral.com, commented: "While turning desktop computers into cooperative peer nodes is an important step for network computing Storing and/or running applications in servers in a network. See cloud computing and network computer. , peer-enabling portable devices such as the Jornada and iPAQ may be even more critical for companies of the future. With an increasingly mobile workforce, companies need peer devices which can hold their own as nodes in collaborative applications. Technologies such as Endeavors' Magi software are an important step in creating a collaboration-friendly peer-to-peer network (1) A network of computers configured to allow certain files and folders to be shared with everyone or with selected users. Peer-to-peer networks are quite common in small offices that do not use a dedicated file server. ." Brian Morrow, chief operations officer and president of Endeavors Technology, added: "Clearly, we're delighted to add P2P value to Hewlett-Packard's Jornada offering and to transform it into a truly two-way mobile Web device. It's a significant development for both companies and the HP-based enterprise as a whole." More On Magi Magi peer-to-peer technology enables organizations, groups and individuals to find, share and act upon information anywhere, at any time, by making the power of a Web server available on any Internet-enabled device. Its open, standards-based application platform incorporates automated e-process agents that enable event-driven, multi-way communications between servers, PCs, PDAs, Internet-ready phones and embedded chips. The Magi suite of tools grew from research carried out at the University of California The University of California has a combined student body of more than 191,000 students, over 1,340,000 living alumni, and a combined systemwide and campus endowment of just over $7.3 billion (8th largest in the United States).
