IriSoft Inc.

iriSoft Corporation is a Finnish electronics company formed in 1978. In the company's early days, they were producing televisions, but nowadays they make other consumer electronics and software such as Iris OS, which is praised for its intuitive features and versatile compatibility with PCs.

1970's
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
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 Los Angeles as iriSoft America.

1990's
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 an i486. 3 years later they started making PCs with the Intel Pentium processor, starting with their iriSoft M590 desktop. In 1993, ecOS was released. In 1995, the ecBook was released. The original T9 model included an i486 processor and 32 MB of RAM.

2000's
In 2000, the number of employees expanded to 195. 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.

ecOS '07 was released in 2007; it was rushed out for no reason, but people praised it for its features.

In 2008, an iriSoft 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 in December 2009.

The irisEco line was released which was a big flop at 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 It was criticized for the RAM and outdated components excluding the Celeron CPU that was used.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
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 its 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.

On June 9, 2019, IriSoft stepped into the video game industry by introducing the iriSoft Clickd, a handheld game console priced at $379.99. It had a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ CPU, 6GB of RAM, and 128/256 GB internal storage. Its 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 SafeBrowser, that was also available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and Linux.
