IntelliGolf, Inc., a company that makes what it calls “sports enhancing software,” has shipped its new IntelliGolf version 8.5 software for Microsoft (News - Alert) Windows Mobile 6.0-based Smartphones.

 

Compatible with Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard edition Smartphones, Version 8.5, adds support for landscape-based screen displays, and includes free access to over 24,000 signature course scorecards for use with IntelliGolf.

 

“Customers have been requesting support for the Motorola Q, Samsung Blackjack, and T-Mobile (News - Alert) Dash since shipment,” said Craig Schmidt, President/CEO of IntelliGolf, Inc., in a statement. “We are pleased that IntelliGolf now supports these smartphones in addition to Windows Mobile 6.0.”

 

Thanks to new software no pencil or paper is required for golf scoring, wagering, and statistics gathering on the golf course. The scores, wagers, and club selection can be entered on a smartphone.

 

IntelliGolf totals all scores, tabulates all wagers, and synchronizes with the included Windows desktop software (Birdie and Eagle editions). Moreover, the IntelliGolf desktop software users can also view performance graphs, approximating their handicap, and evaluate their Dream Round.

 

Besides this, the IntelliGolf Eagle edition adds support for Bluetooth and GPS. This allows customers to view distances to the 200, 150, 100 yard/meter markers, front, center, and back of the green, and up to three custom fairway points (e.g. creek, oak tree, sand trap, etc.) using industry-leading GPS receivers.
