Fujitsu Siemens Computers presents the new high-end handheld
for the pocket-sized office
The modular Pocket LOOX 710 and Pocket LOOX 720 are brimming
with features for business customers
Munich / Germany, August 23, 2004 —With the new Pocket LOOX 700 Series, professional users
acquire a companion for personal information management and a
platform for mobile access to business applications. A variety of
technical innovations, such as the Intel® PXA272 processor and
the Microsoft operating system Windows® MobileTM 2003 for
Pocket PC Second Edition, turn the new handheld into a pocket-sized
office.
Handhelds of the Pocket LOOX 700 Series are equipped with a
slot for SD I/O and for CF cards, making them especially flexible
in terms of use and extendibility. The VGA screen of the Pocket
LOOX 720 with its 640 x 480 resolution provides a crystal-clear
display and supports output in landscape format. As a result,
Pocket LOOX users can now use numerous standard applications which
previously required a notebook or PC. The built-in 1.3-megapixel
camera with integrated flash and video function makes the Pocket
LOOX 720 interesting for users who have never considered using a
handheld in their work environment. The Pocket LOOX 710 and Pocket
LOOX 720 are now available from specialist dealers starting at
€ 599 (In Germany, incl. VAT and subject to correction).
Peter Eßer, Executive Vice President Volume Products and
Supply Operations, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, comments:
"People who travel a lot for both business and pleasure
demand high standards of their equipment. Finding information on
the internet, writing e-mails, synchronizing address databases,
securely accessing corporate applications, just listening to music,
or taking and viewing photos or video footage ― all this and
more is easy with the reliable handhelds of the Pocket LOOX 700
Series, which weigh less than 180 grams."
Communication
Communication via different channels is becoming more and
more important in both professional and personal environments. The
Pocket LOOX 700 Series offers WLAN (IEEE 802.11b WiFi certified),
Bluetooth 1.2, and Consumer Infrared. Users who want to be
reachable anywhere can use the optionally available CONNECT2AIR
GSM/GPRS card to establish connections via GPRS for surfing the
internet or logging on to the company network.
Telephoning via the internet is becoming increasingly popular
as an alternative to traditional transmission channels. With this
in mind, the Pocket LOOX 700 Series has been fitted with a special
speaker which, together with the integrated microphone and the
corresponding add-on software, transforms the Pocket LOOX 700
Series into one of the first VoIP systems. With its 3.5mm headphone
socket and long battery life, the Pocket LOOX 700 Series acts as an
MP3 player. Storage media such as the Memorybird or Storagebird
from Fujitsu Siemens Computers expand the storage capacity of the
Pocket LOOX 700 Series via the USB Host 1.1 to well into the
gigabyte range.
Performance
The new Intel® PXA272 processor and the Microsoft
operating system Windows® MobileTM 2003 for Pocket PC Second
Edition speed up applications and reduce power consumption. Users
can choose between four different settings, depending on whether
maximum performance or maximum battery life is more important to
them, or whether they want the handheld to choose the setting
automatically according to the workload.
Battery concept
The replaceable 1640-mAh battery provides enough power for up
to 12 hours' uninterrupted use, after which a freshly charged
battery can be fitted in next to no time. The docking station of
the Pocket LOOX 700 Series serves as a charger for a replacement
battery, and during the change, which can take up to 30 minutes,
the built-in buffer battery ensures that no data is lost.
Additional software
Both models come with a software voucher worth around €
70, which customers can use to download further software for their
Pocket LOOX from the website www.pocketloox-choice.com.
Differences between Pocket LOOX 710 and Pocket LOOX 720
Both systems fall into the category of high-business
handhelds. In addition to the functions of the Pocket LOOX 710, the
Pocket LOOX 720 offers a digital camera with 1.3 million pixels, a
VGA-resolution display, and a more powerful processor.
