New handheld for professional and private use

Johannesburg, 28 Oct 2005

Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT manufacturer and market leader in Germany, presents the first handheld with integrated antenna and GPS functionality.

The Pocket LOOX N500 and Pocket LOOX N520 are delivered with Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Premium Edition and with NAVIGON MobileNavigator 5 as an option. Both handhelds have a new slim-line design and are available now.

In both the consumer and commercial arenas, navigation has increasingly become one of the most important functions of handhelds. Around 60% of purchases are driven by the navigation functionality of handhelds. In addition, connectivity to e-mail and data are important and the Pocket LOOX N520 is equipped with WiFi certified wireless LAN, making it suitable for use in professional and private use.

In developing the new handhelds, Fujitsu Siemens Computers focused on both elegance in design and user-friendliness. The new Pocket LOOX models are among the first on the market that do not need an additional antenna for GPS functionality. This not only enhances their aesthetic appeal, but also makes them more robust than comparable devices on the market. Other attractive features include an illuminated keyboard, which makes them easy to use even in the dark, and a base station with headphones for more convenient use.

Technical highlights:

* 100% integrated powerful GPS solution
* Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Premium Edition
* Optional: NAVIGON MobileNavigator 5
* SD-I/O / MMC slot
* MP3 player
* Integrated wireless LAN 802.11g WiFi certified (Pocket LOOX N520)
* 128 flash memory (N520)
* Fujitsu Siemens Computers Software Suite for free preinstalled, containing applications for improved performance and connectivity like Fujitsu Siemens Computers SpeedMenu or Fujitsu Siemens Computers CONNECTMOBILITY.
