Compaq Computer today announced a new iPAQ Pocket PC model and a dual PC Card Expansion Pack that gives customers greater memory, added storage capacity and greater PC Card expandability.
The new iPAQ Pocket PC H3660 includes 64-megabytes of memory, allowing it to store twice as many files and applications as before. For memory-hungry `power users`, the iPAQ Pocket PC H3660 now offers full functionality of earlier models with twice the amount of memory, becoming the premier Pocket PC in the industry. The suggested retail price for this new model is R6,006.00; availability is expected in early April.
The new model utilises the Intel StrongARM 206MHz microprocessor and includes a bright, crisp, colour screen featuring a sidelit TFT (thin film transistor) technology.
New Dual PC Card Expansion Pack
The company also announced a new iPAQ Pocket PC Dual PC Card Expansion Pack that holds two Type II cards or one Type III PC card. The ability to use two such devices means customers can perform simultaneous operations, such as using a PC Card modem or barcode scanner and a storage card, or accessing a wireless local or wide area network while using an input/output device.
The Expansion Pack also includes a CF adapter that allows for the use of CF cards or CF devices, with two times the battery capacity of the single-slot PC Card Expansion Pack. The Dual PC Card Expansion Pack will be available in mid-April at a suggested retail price of R1,759.
