Ottawa, Canada — (press release excerpt) — Espial today announced that SavaJe Technologies has licensed the Espial Escape browser for inclusion with its new SavaJe XE operating system. Launched earlier this month, SavaJe XE is optimized to run Java applications efficiently on embedded and handheld devices. By selecting Espial Escape as the default browser, SavaJe is assured that its customers have a fast, compatible — and above all — secure browser for their enterprise applications, and that they experience faithful rendering of even the most complex web pages. Additionally, SavaJe's customers will benefit from the reduced memory footprint of Espial Escape — a key requirement since SavaJe XE is designed to power the resource-constrained ARM-based handheld devices that are proving extremely popular in today's enterprises.

The SavaJe XE operating system is the first, and currently only, operating system to run Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) applications quickly and efficiently on portable devices, and supports many additional APIs, libraries and packages not supported by PersonalJava or J2ME. SavaJe XE is positioned as an ideal solution for original equipment manufacturers that want to offer the best Java solution to their customers, and for enterprises and systems integrators looking for a ast, secure and easily implemented mobile Java platform.

Espial Escape is the first 100% Java browser to offer a scalable configuration that supports key Internet standards — including the most recent specifications of HTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript 1.4 and SSL. Escape 4.8, the most recent version, allows the developer to selectively disable support for specific Internet standards so that the browser can be tailored to run in extremely resource constrained designs or offer full functionality for other, more powerful, devices.

In addition to Espial Escape, SavaJe has also licensed Espial Espresso, a lightweight GUI toolkit. This gives SavaJe the ability to quickly optimize the browser interface for devices with a
wide variety of different form factors.
