Posted on May 25, 2012Without much fanfare DTSV Mobile have snuck out a “beta” release of their Drifta client software for Android devices. This is a mammoth release (compared to prior ones) and now supports an extra 30 odd devices covering a number of different manufacturers including :
- Sony (XPeria Range – X10, Play, Ray, Active, Pro, S, Arc, Neo, Pro)
- LG (Otimus range, Prada, Tablet)
- Motorola (MB860, Atrix, RAZR)
- Vantium (V1)
- Huawei (Ideos X5, U8800)
- HTC (Flyer and Sensation)
There are also a couple of extras on the Honeycomb and Standard release, nothing major though.
Check out the full supported device listing in the FAQ : j-j.co.za/gofaq on supported devices. Don’t forget that rooted devices can be made to work using OTA Rootkeeper.
Thanks to DSTV Product Development manager @neilinspace for tweeting about the update, even though I did miss it for a week or two
