New Windows Based PDA from T-Mobile
T-Mobile has shown off an upgrade to its Windows based PDA, the Mobile Digital Assistant 2 (MDA II). An updated version of its immensely successful MDA, the MDA II will soon be available in Germany, Austria, the UK and the Czech Republic.
The MDA II features the new Microsoft operating system, Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Phone Edition, thanks to strategic cooperation with Microsoft. The t-zones WAP content has been optimized for access via the T-Mobile MDA, and the multimedia features also include the option of playing videos in MPEG 4 format or sound files in MP3 format, making the MDA II also the perfect companion outside office hours.
In addition to the latest software, the MDA II benefits from strong mobile offering. As a triband device, the T-Mobile MDA II is a truly global business companion, and can be used in most countries including the majority of states in America. And thanks to GPRS technology, intranet and Internet searches can be performed significantly faster.
The T-Mobile MDA II also features an integrated VGA digital camera, meaning that users who frequently take digital snapshots in the course of their daily work - such as architects, engineers or journalists - do not need to use a separate camera. Any pictures or video can be sent back to head office as MMS while the user is out and about.
The VGA camera (VGA, Video Graphic Array) built in to the T-Mobile MDA II takes pin sharp MMS-photos at a resolution of 640 by 480 pixels. The large touch screen display, capable of showing 65,000 colours makes it easy to see pictures, text, menu items and application interfaces, even in bright light.
A generous 128 MB of RAM provides a whole range of opportunities for accessing even large files at any time. Combined with the 400 MHz Xscale processor, even complex applications run smoothly. With the integrated Bluetooth interface, the T-Mobile MDA II can also be used for wireless communication between devices or as a navigation system in conjunction with the T-Mobile NaviGate BlueKit."
