Which GS-911 software to use

Up to Table of Contents

Users seem to be very confused about which software to download and use on what platform. Here's the software platform compatibility guide.

There are several software applications for GS-911, each specific to a particular platform, namely:

  • The GS-911 PC version for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
  • The Windows Mobile version for PocketPC and SmartPhone (WM 5&6 devices) version
  • The BlackBerry version (for older BlackBerries - no longer supported - all BlackBerries with software 4.2.1 are JSR-82 compliant and use the GS911Mobile.jar version)
  • The GS-911Mobile.jar version (for all other Java midlet enabled (and JSR-82 compliant) mobile phones, like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung etc). Also for the new BlackBerries that are JSR-82 compliant (running software 4.2.1 or newer)
  • The GS911Verifier - for use ONLY on the Java midlet enabled mobile phones, to test whether your device is capable of running the GS911Mobile.jar version (of course NOT for use on Windows Mobile devices as they use the Windows Mobile version and there is no need or point to test for JSR-82 compatibility)


So let's summarize this in a table by platform:
