[November 10, 2009] Smith Micro Software launches StuffIt Deluxe 2010 for Windows Tweet Nov 10, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Smith Micro Software, a provider of mobility solutions, has launched StuffIt Deluxe 2010 for Windows. The new release includes StuffIt Connect, a new cloud-based file transfer service that is expected to let users share large files without the hassle of email attachments or FTP. Smith Micro said that StuffIt continues to provide compression technology, and includes Smith Micro's patented compression methods designed to provide pixel-perfect compression of image files, audio files, PDFs and Microsoft Office documents. StuffIt Deluxe 2010 is expected to eliminate the constraints of email attachments by automatically redirecting large files to the new StuffIt Connect web service. Smith Micro said that StuffIt Connect protects files with 512bit RC4 encryption technology and offers users the ability to further protect download links with password access to ensure files can only be opened by the intended recipient. Matthew Covington, senior director of product management at Smith Micro Software, said: "One of the key features of StuffIt Connect is that once a file, or collection of files, has been posted to the service, the user can access and create invitations to share that content from any internet-connected device, including their smartphone. "We definitely see a tremendous growth opportunity in this area for many media-heavy verticals including photography, advertising, music, and graphic design. StuffIt Connect adds value to anyone who regularly shares files such as music, images, video and large presentations. StuffIt Connect acts like a personal assistant, running seamlessly in the background to make real-time decisions about compression, encryption, and storage." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
