First i-mate 3G PDA

27th October , 2004

Europe : i-mate™ today are proud to announce the launch of its first 3G product, the i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO ( inset ).

This launch represents a worldwide first for i-mate™, with Australia identified as the ideal launch pad of a global rollout.

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

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

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

Jim Morrison, Founder and CEO of i-mate™, had the following to say about the relevance of this industry defining advancement to Australians. “I take great pleasure in offering the i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO to Australian customers before the rest of the world. They know what they want and demand the very best. I think they really like the idea of portable computing but don’t want to compromise on speed. The i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO delivers broadband like speeds. It’s that fast and easy to use, you’ll
think you’re still at the office.” Jim further added, “We’re passionate about delivering innovative products that take full advantage of network capabilities to deliver meaningful benefits to customers. This EVDO based product is living proof.” The new i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO – unleash the power!
