Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: CTPS), a leading provider of VoIP (Voice
over IP) and Video over IP SIP softphones, today announced its
latest softphone client application, Bria(TM) 2.0. Bria 2.0
introduces a number of new usability and customization features to
the CounterPath Multimedia Communicator product suite and enables
service providers and equipment manufacturers to present a highly
flexible, user-friendly VoIP solution for consumer markets. "Built
on the same reliable SIP-based platform as our eyeBeam(TM)
softphone, Bria 2.0 further enhances the end user experience by
enabling communication over voice, video and IM intuitively based
on personal preference," said Donovan Jones, president and COO of
CounterPath. "The user interface we've created for Bria 2.0 offers
not only a fresh look and feel for the client, but offers a number
of different voice/video calling and IM management options
including drag-and-drop for contacts, auto-complete dialing and an
extendable call management module, making it more convenient and
efficient for both novice and power users." Bria 2.0 combines voice
and video calling, IM (Instant Messaging) and presence management
in a visually appealing and versatile desktop communications
application. The distinguishing features of Bria 2.0 include: For
end users: -------------- - Contact-centric vs. dialpad-centric -
Bria's dynamic GUI (Graphical User Interface) focuses around the
address book rather than the more traditional dial pad, enabling
users to manage their communications more conveniently and
according to their personal preferences. - Deskbar capability -
Bria can be minimized to a deskbar, enabling the user to enjoy a
manageable desktop space while still being able to make and receive
calls. For service providers: ---------------------- - Increased
branding flexibility - Bria's new skinning engine gives customers
increased options to create customized applications to support
their brand and meet the needs of their clients. - Wider
advertising reach - Bria's multiple panel layout incorporates
customer specified areas for branded or revenue generating
advertisements such as banner ads, click-to-call and interactive
video messaging, as well as custom integration with network
infrastructure. Bria 2.0 is available for Windows XP and Windows
2000; versions for Windows Vista and Mac OS 10.4 and higher are
scheduled for release at a future date. To learn more about Bria
