"[Red Bend] today announced the general availability of vCurrent® Mobile version 5 beginning June 30... [The solution includes...]
Background Updates: Red Bend's Background Update feature allows access to the complete functionality of the handset while the firmware image is being updated, enabling the user to decide when to reboot the phone and activate the new software version.
Revertible Updates: Multiple revertible update options in vCurrent Mobile version 5 improve the consumer experience by enhancing control of the update process -- from reverting to a prior source version or canceling an update mid way. This capability affords new revenue opportunities for operators by enabling them to offer new features and applications during a trial period, and then removing the software from the phone if the consumer does not subscribe. Revertible Updates also benefit machine-to-machine (M2M) manufacturers. If the M2M module detects a malfunction in the new software version, it can roll back to the previous version without retrieving a reverse update file from the device management server -- improving reliability, particularly if the malfunction is detected to be in the network connectivity software."
