Pocket LOOX 400 Series: the multi-functional, mobile office
that fits in your hand
Convenience and performance in abundance with new handhelds
from Fujitsu Siemens Computers
Munich/Germany, June 03, 2004 —Fujitsu Siemens Computers today introduced two new handhelds
– the Pocket LOOX 410 and 420 – designed for both
private and corporate users. The new systems are extremely compact
(at 11.3 cm x 7.1 cm x 1.4 cm, about half the size of a CD cover)
and weigh only around 125 grams (or that of a small apple). The
operating system, Microsoft Windows MobileTM 2003 for Pocket PCs,
supports numerous entertainment, navigational and Office
applications, including Mail, Excel and Word. While both models can
connect to the Internet via Bluetooth, the Pocket LOOX 420 also has
a wireless LAN interface for a fast connection via hotspot
connectivity that can be used in parallel to the Bluetooth
connection.
Today’s users demand small, easy-to-carry systems that
allow them to retrieve information from the Internet, write
e-mails, synchronize their address book and get fast access to
corporate applications. The Pocket LOOX 400 Series fulfills all
these needs. Whether indoors or outdoors, there is always a clear
picture with the transflective 240 x 320 pixel 65.536 color TFT
touch screen display.
Both systems are now available from specialty stores.
Recommended retail prices are €299 for the Pocket LOOX 410
and €399 for the Pocket LOOX 420.*
Comprehensive communications
Both new Pocket LOOX models – the 410 and 420 –
offer extensive communications functions, including integrated
Bluetooth and Infrared interfaces as well as an SD I/O card slot.
The Pocket LOOX 420 also offers the flexibility of wireless LAN.
All this means Pocket LOOX users can conveniently send and receive
e-mail, manage their day planner and contacts, as well as access
information online.
High performance
The Pocket LOOX 400 Series employs 300 MHz and 400 MHz
Intel® XScale PXA 255 processors together with a version of
Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2003 operating system optimized
for these processors. Users thus benefit from the fast applications
and low power consumption.
Recharging concept
Customers will enjoy long periods of independence with the
Pocket LOOX recharging concept: the standard 1100 mAh battery
allows operation for up to 10 hours. It is also easy to exchange,
and a battery buffer provides the user a 30 minute window in which
to do so.
