Mobile Internet, The, Nov, 2004

i-mate announced the launch of its first 3G product, the i-mate(TM) PDA2K EVDO. The new i-mate(TM) PDA2K EVDO represents a technological breakthrough, as it is the first-ever 3G-capable device powered by the Microsoft Windows Mobile(TM) platform, and is also the first integrated device operating on Australia's CDMA 1xEV-DO network.

Powered by the latest Microsoft Windows Mobile(TM) Pocket PC software, the i-mate(TM) PDA2K EVDO is easy to use and delivers access to much of the same information as a desktop PC, such as emails, calendar, and important documents. The i-mate(TM) PDA2k EVDO offers an extensive range of functionality, including a convenient built-in QWERTY keyboard (accessible by sliding the screen up), Windows(R) Media Player, MSN(R) Messenger, Bluetooth(TM), a built-in digital camera/video recorder (with flash), a sharp 64K full-color screen, a generous 128MB user memory, and an SDIO slot. Fully versatile, the i-mate(TM) PDA2K EVDO is upgradeable and scaleable to suit changing business and personal requirements.

The new product can also be used as a modem for those who prefer 1xEV-DO network access via their PCs. A great contribution to Australia's metropolitan and rural customers alike, i-mate(TM) expect this new device to help further alleviate the geographic digital divide.
