If you like E-TEN's Glofiish X500 and want something with a bit more "wow", but don't need the 3G functionality of the upcoming Glofiish X800, then take a look at the X500+. E-TEN confirmed its presence today in a press release that's available for viewing the break. What's in the device? All of the X500 essentials - so, a Samsung S3C2442 400MHz processor, 64MB RAM, 128MB ROM, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, FM radio, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE - plus the added bonuses of an auto-focus 2.0-megapixel camera, a 2.8" VGA (480 x 640) touch screen, Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and a new Namecard Manager utility to help with the updating of contacts. At 113.5mm x 60.5mm x 15.5mm, you can get your fix of X500+ in silver or black.
E-TEN introduces ultra-thin VGA Pocket PC Phone
Glofiish X500+ combines Windows Mobile® 6 and VGA display in all-in-one
E-TEN Information Systems has introduced the X500+, its first to market high-resolution (VGA) Pocket PC Phone. The new product delivers the visual and ergonomic benefits of a larger screen-area, improved Auto-Macro camera, and the latest Windows Mobile® 6 platform in an easily portable, ultra-thin form factor for entertainment, communications and productivity on the move.
Following the crowd-pleasing preview of its upcoming Glofiish X800 – its first Pocket PC Phone to feature 3.5G connectivity, Windows Mobile® 6, and a VGA display – at CeBIT 2007, E-TEN has announced the new Glofiish X500+ aimed at consumers and business professionals seeking one of the latest high-featured all-in-one Pocket PC Phones but who don't yet need or have access to 3.5G connectivity.
One of the highlight features of the Glofiish X500+ is its VGA display which offers up to four times the resolution of previous E-TEN handsets. With more pixels on the screen, images and movies viewed on the X500+ are sharper and show more detail making the X500+ the first choice for enjoying mobile multimedia. Additionally, the X500+ includes a 2-magapixel camera allowing users to capture high-resolution photographs and record home-video.
The X500+ is based on the Windows Mobile® 6 Professional platform and comes complete with the latest mobile applications for business and leisure. Updated Mobile Office applications add new functions and editing options to help users stay even more productive while working with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations on the move, while the new Windows Live™ for Windows Mobile® suite helps them surf the internet and communicate online.
Additionally, E-TEN's exclusive suite of in-house developed software comes preloaded on the device including the new utility, Namecard Manager. Namecard Manager is designed to simplify the process of updating contacts on the X500+. Using the built-in Auto-Macro camera, which helps capture images at close distances, Namecard Manager lets users photograph a business card, and then uses OCR technology to identify and extract contact information, adding it to the device's contact's list in just a few easy steps.
As with the original Glofiish X500, the X500+ measures just 113.5 x 60.5 x 15.5 mm and is available in silver and black.
