IriSoft Inc.

iriSoft Corporation is a Finnish electronics company formed in 1978. Their most popular product is Iris OS, which is praised for its intuitive features and versatile compatibility with PCs.

1970's - Television market
When Jukka Vertti was 27, he started a company known as ATS Corporation in July 1978. ATS Corporation was producing televisions until 1986.

1980's - PC market
Starting in 1985, ATS started making PCs, starting with the ATS B200. During that time, ATS had 10 thousand customers. In 1989, 2 factories were formed - one in El Kadsre City, and one in New York as iriSoft of America.

1990's - Rebrand & LeTronics Formation
In late 1992, ATS was renamed to ecSoft Corporation. In 1993, they started making PCs with i486 processors starting with their iriSoft Beecorn 486, their first computer with a i486. 3 years later they started making PCs with the Intel Pentium processor, starting with their iriSoft M590 desktop. In 1993, ecOS was released. On August 10, 1994, an iriSoft division called leTronics was formed. In 1995, the ecBook was released. The original T9 model included a i486 processor and 32 MB of RAM.

2000's - iriSoft's Grow and Fate
In 2000, the number of employees expanded to 175. The same year, they released successful products, such as the ecSoft Turon 393, which was the first iriSoft product to use the AMD Turon processor, which was a massive success. However, in 2004, iriSoft released a computer which was a failure.

ecOS X was released in 2007; it was rushed out for no reason, but people praised it for the features.

In 2008, an iriSoft of America employee named Elliana Rosalie planned a new version of Iris OS that can run on old hardware. The first beta was released the same year, following a final version on December 2009.

The irisEco line was released which was a big flop in the start. It was criticized for the RAM and outdated components excluding the Celeron CPU that was used. A better version was released to clear the criticism with a Core 2 Duo and higher RAM but keeping the price cheap.

2010's - Excitement for iriSoft
In 2010, ecOS Eco Edition was released, which people loved due to the majorly improved speed of the OS. People claimed it could run on an Intel Pentium 4 with modern PC speed.

In 2011, iriSoft released the irisElite line of computers, designed for creators and gaming as well.

In 2012, iriSoft unveiled their first tablet computer (the irisTab) along with a modified touch-based version of Iris OS designed for it, Iris OS Touch.

ecSoft was renamed to "iriSoft" in May 2018.

In June 9, 2019, IriSoft stepped into the video game industry by introducing the iriSoft Clickd, an handheld game console priced at $379.99. It had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ CPU, 6GB of RAM, and 128/256 GB internal storage. It's best-selling game was "Xing Unearthed" by Milky Way Games on December 9, 2020, selling 4 million copies.

Iris OS Onyx was released after the Clickd. It was criticized early on due to the lack of fixes but got changed to positive reviews early on. It included a tremendous amount of new features, including their SafeBrowser, that was also available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Linux.
