Symbol Preparing MC35 for Q1, 2007
Posted by Darius Wey in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
"Dubbed the MC35, the handheld is said to be a "durable, lightweight... all-in-one enterprise communication device", according to company blurb sent our way this week. Alas, the information - from a source in a position to be familiar with the company's plans - didn't include a full specification sheet, but the MC35 is thought to contain full mobile phone functionality and a built-in GPS receiver. It will run Windows Mobile software, almost certainly version 5.0. We'd expect Bluetooth to be part of the spec too."
It's not everyday you see a rugged handheld that's well, not so brick-like. According to the Reg, we'll be seeing the MC35 next February, complete with phone functionality, GPS, Bluetooth, and Windows Mobile 5.0. Non-English and Wi-Fi versions will appear in the months after. Way to go, Symbol, or should we say, Motorola?
