"Soft drinks giant Coca-Cola has signed a deal with Symbol Technologies to roll out 28,000 mobile devices - based on specifications agreed by the two companies - across its European and North American operations.
The company, the world's largest producer, bottler and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages, will use the devices, based on Symbol’s MC9000 technology, for logistics, delivery and service applications to boost efficiency and customer service.
...The jointly developed device features a bright, high-resolution colour screen for easy reading indoors and outdoors; Symbol Spectrum24 wireless Lan communications; Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PC; the 32-bit Xscale processor from Intel; and rechargeable, extended-use lithium-ion batteries."
A nice corporate win for the Pocket PC platform! I think I feel like a Coke... :mrgreen:
