Why the iSilo format?

We chose the iSilo format to distribute the RCH CPG's to PDA's becasue iSilo™ is a highly versatile document reader available for Palm OS®, Pocket PC, and Windows® CE Handheld PC handhelds, as well as for Windows® computers. Some of the major features of iSilo™ include:

  • Multi paltform support
  • High text compression in iSilo™ format documents result in a 50% to 60% decrease in size, which is about 20% better than the Palm Doc format, allowing you to store more and larger documents on your handheld.
  • Hyperlinks make it much easier to navigate through a document.
  • Images add visual richness to documents, especially photo-quality color pictures.
  • Tables allow the display of tabular data.
  • Formatted text gives style to text for controlled emphasis.
  • VFS support on Palm OS® allows you to store and access documents on high-capacity removeable storage.
