Compaq Computer , a global enterprise technology and solutions company, today announced the iPAQ Pocket PC H3100 Series, a new monochrome version of the top-selling iPAQ Pocket PC.
The monochrome-screen iPAQ Pocket PC H3130 offers most of the same features as the extraordinarily popular H3600 Series, at a recommended retail price of R4 005 (including VAT). The iPAQ Pocket PC H3100 Series also provides the same powerful wireless capabilities of the colour version in a value-based model with a crisp, 15-grayscale monochrome screen, underscoring the company`s commitment to redefine the way the Internet is being used by creating leading-edge Internet access devices.
The iPAQ Pocket PC H3130 helps customers manage their most critical business and personal information wherever they are, whenever they want. It is simple to own, simple to use, and offers improved personal information management. Featuring a 206MHz Intel StrongArm processor and 16MB RAM, the iPAQ H3130 enables Compaq to provide a wider range of choice to its handheld computing customers, with the basic functionality of the highest performing Pocket PC for the broader market.
"The iPAQ Pocket PC Series is quickly becoming synonymous with the best in handheld computing," said Annika Fagerstrom, Compaq Computer. "This product exemplifies Compaq`s strategy of developing innovative products and integrating them into reliable solutions that enable our customers to accomplish their most critical tasks."
Expanding the Possibilities
Continuing with the iPAQ H3100 Series, customers can add standard PC Card and CompactFlash options to their iPAQ Pocket PC through Expansion Packs. The flexibility of this design means customers can select the wireless solution that is right for them today - ranging from accessing the Internet and intranets to corporate data secured on a network to e-mail - while building a migration strategy for future wireless technologies. Hardware and software vendors throughout the industry see the value in this powerful solution and are rapidly porting their applications to this new platform.
