Ilium Software has announced that they will include Ultra-Mobile PC (UMPC) versions of all of their programs in their future product releases. The company is well known for its work in developing software for Windows Mobile Pocket PC and Smartphone platforms.

This announcement makes Ilium Software the first major PDA software developer to embrace the new UMPC platform.

The UMPC is a natural evolution for users seeking a comprehensive mobile experience, stated Marc Tassin, Senior Product Manager for Ilium Software. We’re very excited about the prospects for this new platform.

The UMPC, also known as Origami, was announced by Microsoft in March 2006. Ilium Software is working directly with Microsoft to bring UMPC compatible versions of their software to the consumer.

Ilium Software has been producing handheld and mobile software since 1997. Several of their titles ( eWallet, ListPro, NewsBreak ) are mobile platform best-sellers, as well as having won multiple industry awards. The UMPC platform has been the focus of a great deal of speculation and attention in the both the PDA and Windows communities, but the decision by Ilium Software to pursue the UMPC platform may provide an indication of the future direction of the mobile market.

“Ilium Software has always produced excellent software for Pocket PCs and Smartphones,” said Hal Goldstein, Publisher of Pocket PC and Smartphone Magazine. “I believe that their decision to support the UMPC is an important indicator about the role the UMPC will play in the future mobile-device landscape.”

Ilium Software plans to announce more details, as well as release dates, over the upcoming months.
