HP has announced its new iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series, the first device to integrate wireless LAN, biometric fingerprint authentication, Bluetooth technology and universal remote control in a single device, offering the highest level of security, functionality and expandability for the enterprise and professional user.
The iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series is the first handheld to allow the user to incorporate additional levels of biometric security into their handheld. With the new biometric fingerprint scanner on the h5400, the critical data stored on the device is secure from unauthorised access. The fingerprint registration process is seamless and authenticates the owner`s unique fingerprint to the device, allowing access with a simple fingerprint swipe.
Designed for the ultimate mobile professional, the feature-rich iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series is the most versatile and secure wireless Pocket PC solution today. This robust model offers a true office in your pocket as the industry`s first integrated wireless LAN and Bluetooth handheld device. The new iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series also features a removable and rechargeable battery, allowing a user to add or change the battery, based on his or her working requirements.
Through high-speed wireless LAN networks, the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 series allows access to information through a corporate network or wireless hotspot area (sometimes found in airports, hotels, etc), making the device an ideal component of many mobile business solutions. Accessing remote data is also seamless via the iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 and a Bluetooth-enabled phone.
The iPAQ Pocket PC h5400 also builds on the success of previous iPAQ models by incorporating a wide range of applications and solutions such as iPAQ File Store and iPAQ Backup utility for backup/restore, as well as the Nevo universal remote control.
