Play Golf With Java - Benefits of Java Conversion

Karrier Communications today announced the shipment of its first Java based version of the IntelliGolf® golf scoring software. IntelliGolf has been completely rewritten in Java (MIDP 2.0) offering several new features, removed dependency on third party software and reduced memory consumption.

Converting to Java removed the need for continued use of AppForge’s Crossfire (Booster) software on Sony Ericsson’s P900-series of phones. This immediately saves users over 1.2Mb of phone memory making IntelliGolf easier to install and faster to use on the golf course. In addition, IntelliGolf for the P900/910 includes a completely new section on shot tracking, adds 25 new wagering games (35 total), adds 150 new gaming-improving statistics (250 total), scoring for up to a fivesome, and wireless access to over 21,500 course scorecards worldwide. Round set-up is simplified.

“This new JAVA version of IntelliGolf paves the way for offering IntelliGolf on a variety of mobile platforms,” said Craig A. Schmidt, president of Karrier Communications. “These include future offerings on Sony Ericsson’s P990, W900/950, and M600-based smartphones.”

IntelliGolf is a top selling Golf Scoring and GPS Software for Microsoft Window Mobile-based Pocket PCs and Smartphones, Palm and Treo handhelds, and Windows-based PC in 125+ countries worldwide. It replaces pencil and paper golf scoring, wagering, and statistics gathering on the golf course. Users can view performance graphs, approximating their handicap, and evaluate their dream round.
