Psion Teklogix Unveils Its Rugged PDA iKon

Newest Product Offering Marks Company’s return to PDA Market

PARIS,
FRANCE–(Marketwire – Oct. 25, 2007) – Signifying the dawn of a new era
in the PDA marketplace, Psion Teklogix (LSE:PON), a global provider of
solutions for mobile computing, wireless data collection, imaging and
RFID, announced its return to the market it pioneered over 20 years
ago, launching today its newest product, the rugged PDA – iKon^TM.

A sleek, compact and powerful design with robust built-in
functionality, iKon is an ideal mobile computing device, delivering
increased productivity and efficiency by enabling advanced mobile
applications across the enterprise.

“We’re extremely proud to be launching iKon today, a day when we’re
also celebrating our 40th year of existence in a very exciting
marketplace,” said Psion Teklogix CEO Jacky Lecuivre. “iKon is the most
advanced handheld computer our company has ever brought to market. It
is a very synergistic addition to our portfolio as it enables us to
truly address the needs of mobile workers, helping them do their jobs
with the best possible mobile computing support.”

He added, “With the launch of this new rugged PDA, the company
continues to evolve in the best Psion tradition. We are universally
acknowledged with having created the PDA, with the introduction of the
original Psion Organiser in 1984, and today we’re proving how our past
is indeed the way to our future.”

Customers and partners worldwide were solicited for input and
feedback on the types of capabilities they expect in a rugged PDA. “We
listened to our customers, to the point where they became an integral
part of the design and features definition process. Consequently,
initial market reaction to our prototypes has been immensely positive
and we are extremely optimistic about the prospects for iKon,” said
Lecuivre.

iKon packs incredible functionality into a compact form factor with
class-leading ergonomics, aesthetics, and ease of use. Whether reading
barcodes with the integrated imager or scanner, or using the camera to
take a colour picture, iKon is a category-leading data capture device
ideal for mobile workers in dynamic applications. With a choice of
three operating systems, including Microsoft Windows CE .NET 5,
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Classic and Professional, iKon offers
customers an industry standard, yet leading edge platform for their
applications.

The capability of iKon to fully integrate voice and data
communication options onto a single device eliminates the need for
multiple devices – effectively reducing capital expenditures as well as
support costs. iKon delivers true anytime, anywhere, wireless voice and
data communications, GPS positioning, with simultaneous WiFi, Cellular
(GSM/GPRS/UMTS) and Bluetooth connectivity options. These features
enable real-time information management, improved efficiencies and
increased asset visibility across a customer’s operations. With a full
VGA display, iKon is more suitable for complex applications with
sophisticated graphics than many competing devices with one-quarter VGA
displays. Finally, the highest battery capacity of the market ensures
full-day productivity for mobile workers.

International consulting firm Capgemini is already seeing the
benefits of iKon as the company is planning to work with its client,
Hydro One Networks, in Ontario, Canada, to pilot the new device on a
large Smart Meter project. Hydro One Networks owns and operates one of
the ten largest electricity transmission and distribution systems in
North America.

iKon will be used by Hydro One installers, alongside other Psion
Teklogix rugged PDAs already being used, to support the smart meter
installations – part of the provincial government initiative to have
electricity distribution companies install smart meters in all homes
and small business by 2010.

“We’re excited to be among the early adaptors of this great new
device. With its rugged design and multi-mode capabilities, iKon will
help in our efforts to create a culture of energy conservation across
the province of Ontario,” said Gord Reynolds, the Capgemini Program
Manager of Field Services for the Smart Meter Project at Hydro One.
Capgemini, one of the world’s foremost providers of Consulting,
Technology and Outsourcing services, enables its clients to transform
and perform through technologies.

iKon will be available to customers through Psion Teklogix’ global sales offices and value-added resellers in December 2007.

Lo que hizo fue reemplazar a Google como data source en la aplicacion de mapas del iPhone. Definitivamente un excelente hack para los que generamos nuestros propios mapas. Claro que seguimos seria genial si tan solo el iPhone tuviera un receptor GPS!… pero esperamos este add-on en cualquier momento.
