Europe. : Mobile
phone, notebook, navigation system, digital camera, VoIP headset,
PDA, MP3 player, and don’t forget the right power adapter for
each device. It’s quite a lot of gear for the business traveler
to carry around – the term “unlimited mobility”
is hardly one that would spring to mind.
Fortunately, Fujitsu
Siemens Computers is bringing an end to all this. Europe’s leading
IT company will unveil its Pocket LOOX T Series to the public at the
3GSM World Congress, which started today in Barcelona. Featuring Windows
Mobile® Direct Push e-mail and UMTS mobile phone, this all-integrated
handheld is a pocket-sized office that eliminates the need for multiple
devices.
With Microsoft®
Windows Mobile™ 5.0 software and UMTS functionality, Pocket
LOOX T series users always have access to their e-mails, appointment
calendar and other familiar Microsoft Office applications. And it’s
user-friendly, with a standard QWERTY keyboard and brilliant TFT display.
Incorporating these devices into the corporate network is straightforward,
ensuring secure and reliable data transfer, while the integrated GPS
makes sure you never get lost. The new high-end handhelds will arrive
at shops in July for prices of approximately €700.
With annual growth
rates of 70 percent in the handhelds market* in 2005 Fujitsu Siemens
Computers has established itself as a key mobility player in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Fast, efficient digital communication
is becoming ever more crucial, particularly in the rapidly growing
market for convergence products. With decades of IT and mobility experience,
Fujitsu Siemens Computers is extremely well positioned for success
in this convergence market. The company recognizes that business users
require all-integrated devices, which over time, will replace conventional
handhelds and mobile phones.
“It is vital
for the mobile workforce to have the information they need at hand
anytime and anywhere, and to have the means to respond quickly when
it matters,” explained Peter Esser, Executive Vice President
Volume Products & Supply Operations at Fujitsu Siemens Computers.
“Mobile professionals do not have time to sit around unproductively
when there are mountains of e-mails and documents to work through.
They do not want to waste time that could be better spent with customers.
With the Pocket LOOX T Series, we are introducing a product designed
to solve these problems. And the best thing is that all those extra
devices and adaptors can be done away with, since everything is now
combined into one compact, capable and highly portable package.”
