Hewlett-Packard Company has announced the HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC, an increased-capacity model in its popular Jornada 600 series of colour Windows CE handheld PCs.
The HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC provides all the benefits of the HP Jornada 680, but contains 32MB of internal RAM, giving users more storage and flexibility when running large applications such as databases and specialised software designed for vertical markets.
For example, the HP Jornada 600 series is well suited for a host of business applications, from healthcare professionals prescribing medication to patients, to insurance agents creating contracts, to field representatives consulting a sales database. The HP Jornada 600 series provides the ideal mobile solution to help users work more productively, whatever their trade and wherever their business may take them.
"The HP Jornada 600 series is designed with convenient computing and excellent portability in mind," said Thierry Boulanger, HP PC product manager. "Users now have the choice of the Jornada 680 or Jornada 690 - depending on their individual usage needs."
The HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC runs Microsoft Windows CE Handheld PC Professional Edition software, displays up to 65,536 brilliant colours on a 6.5-inch screen and incorporates a type-comfortable keyboard - 76 percent of the size of a normal PC keyboard - using responsive desktop-style keys. It also features a sturdy docking solution. At only 1.1 pounds and 7.4 inches x 3.7 inches x 1.3 inches, the HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC travels easily in a coat pocket or purse. Its fast processor (133MHz) and eight-hour battery life deliver very convenient mobile-computing power throughout a full working day. The exclusive HP quick pad gives users greater flexibility in capturing, storing and viewing information. The HP viewer gives an all-in-one screen overview of calendar, contacts and task information for fast access.
The HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC has a built-in 56Kbps v.90 modem, enabling users to stay in touch wherever they go via easy access to e-mail and the Web. In addition, the user-friendly HP dial-up software application makes it easy to set up and establish modem connections for accessing e-mail or the Web.
Applications to Enhance User Productivity
The HP Jornada 690 Handheld PC ships with a rich suite of useful applications that allow users to manage their financial information, view files or e-mail attachments in 35 file formats, manage their GSM phone book, send and receive faxes, do mathematical conversions, annotate and display digital images, and print to printers that use the standard Printer Control Language (PCL).
