IMS announces nationwide availability of iLane at Bell Mobility stores

Voice-controlled iLane(TM) brings Canadians hands-free access to their inboxes and smartphones

WATERLOO, ON, July 16 -- Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), a world leader in telematics and mobile media solutions, and Bell Mobility today announced the nationwide availability of iLane, the first in-car device that interacts directly with your smartphone and lets you manage your inbox hands-free using simple voice commands.

iLane is a portable, voice operated smartphone-compatible device that offers complete hands-free connectivity. iLane reads e-mail out loud, on command, which users can then reply to, forward, or delete. In addition, iLane allows access and control of other smartphone applications by voice command, including managing phone calls, SMS messages and calendars. iLane also provides on-demand access to compelling news, weather, and sports content from The Associated Press and The Weather Network.

iLane is the only hands-free device on the market that allows users to fully manage their smartphone device using simple voice commands. Unlike other dial-in solutions, iLane is a self-contained, portable hardware solution that automatically pairs with a user's smartphone. Always-on, iLane reengages with a simple voice command, eliminating the need to fiddle with buttons or dial in to a server. As a non-server based product, information exchanged via iLane remains safe and secure making this an ideal solution for those conducting business on the road.

"We're thrilled to announce the availability of iLane at Bell Mobility stores across Canada," said Tony Cassetta, Chief Operating Officer, IMS. "With this announcement, we are making iLane available to Bell Mobility clients who need to stay in touch and productive using voice activated services."

"With Bell Mobility's unbeatable selection of 3G smartphones, more and more of our clients are finding innovative ways to manage their time and stay efficient," said Adel Bazerghi, Senior Vice President, Products at Bell Mobility. "With iLane's voice activated solution, our clients can continue to enjoy access using simple and convenient spoken commands."

iLane Compatibility

iLane is currently compatible with BlackBerry 8000 series smartphones and newer running BlackBerry OS 4.1 and higher. Compatibility with additional operating systems and devices will be available throughout 2009, including Windows Mobile as well as interoperability with in-car/third party Bluetooth systems.
