Slie Sony PEG T615C: pocket a piece of art

That time already looking at handhelds from Sony and more and more convinced - the Japanese do not PDA - no - they create works of art! A few years ago, getting some easy money, I went to watch his cassette player - the one that is cheaper. As a result, bought doroguschy - $ 100 Sony in a silver metal frame with the cosmically-round with a bright blue backlight - Remote control. He was thick with the tape included only with the remote control each time the inside that slim body is something fascinating clicked ... in general - a thing! Engineers from Sony by some miraculously managed to conquer space and shove in the box a little thicker than a cassette tape itself and more and control mechanism, a motor, battery, in the end! And how it all fits!) Actually it concerns virtually all products, apart from those, of course, that status is supposed to be great. TVs, for example. I understand the general slogan of the company should be something like "the device everything should be fine, and the unit engaged in manufacture of handheld devices will not knocked out of this principle, and vice versa, from model to model perfects the art of making portable electronics in fashion works of art. From the conversation in a computer club:

• You what?
• Yes, Palm ...
• - And I - "Sonya!"
• - Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

That's another "Nuuuuuu," and recently got into my hands. It's called Sony Clie PEG T615C - for him, and will talk. Probably the same feeling I had when I first took the trembling in his hands PowerBook Titanium from Apple, which had heard many rave reviews - wow! Smooth contours of matte-silver aluminum body, tidy - in the ticker - the control buttons, stressed-technically block wheel controls with an elegant metal button. Want to just pick up and put under glass, so that, God forbid, no scratching, no zalapalos. A turn on - and see a bright color screen ... Here's to it and begin. Immediately after the release of this model, the CPC in the light of the conferences rumors that de thrifty Japanese have made it too thin, so now on a small screen and saved - it faded, dim, colors are displayed incorrectly. So, officially announce to you that this is all a lie! Normal small screen. Size, of course, also plays a role - not that it turned bright as that of the same-610S, well, so from her, excuse me, at full brightness and the blind can accidentally. But seriously, it does not look like he was not one available in the market, in any case known to me. This is reflective TFT - monitor has higher resolution 320x320 pixels and adjustable backlighting. But if you look at any known monitor this kind of sideways, it becomes visible to the backlight, but here - no. I would say that this sort of cross between HAST monitor from Casio, with a reflective screen Ipaq, not the technology, of course, but on feelings - it seems that it is not illuminated with any one side, and filled the whole uniform glow. Moreover, even in the most extreme position the brightness is twice brighter screen Palm m505. Control buttons T615, as usual, made with the expectation of the small Japanese pen:) The buttons are small and slightly convex.Here, unfortunately, lost to the whims of a few features of design and scroll buttons mutated into not very convenient mini-joystick with two positions up and down. Probably, everything can be adapted, but the friendship I had with him at once as something did not happen, and if the text has got to move, then in games it probably hindered than helped. But beautiful! - And summarize. The power button is now circular, with a slight indentation in the middle, located on the lower right corner. LED charging migrated under the socket with the buttons - I noticed it and immediately, just after the start of charging. What I really enjoyed my time in the model of Sony Clie N610, is the fact that the power adapter could be connected to both the cradle and to the very Sony. Want to charge while syncing, you want - on the road. So - here it is not - plug the adapter is only for cradle! Sorry, but really, probably a lot of money being made separately on the power adapter or it is again a tribute to the whims of design? Rhetorical question - you can not answer ... :-) The bottom slot in the T-Series, of course, again a new, so if you're planning an upgrade - say goodbye to the entire periphery, if you have accumulated. Whether business Palm - both sat down on a universal connector, and sits. And I am a model as you want! Promise that in future the CPC did not throw - very correct position! They did, however, and do not give to anyone: there, Handera to build a new business model, because it so directly, and said - do not give! The old connector is used, and the new - no. Well, one thing Handera, but what I can not believe that Sony is hard to create a standard connector ... again, probably, any ideas, this time, perhaps, marketing. Moving on: non-removable battery - do not think the Japanese about the future, but the protective cap, compared with the previous model was better, she is now attached to the rear panel and secured by two small plastic clips. Much water has flowed since the release of the first handheld from Sony. Then, still with him was given an acceptable leather case, only now, almost none of which do not protect, but stylish caps. In T615-st is leather or a good substitute - you can not tell with plastic nakladochkoy logo. The new Clie staffed 16 megabytes of RAM - twice as much as its predecessors, and standard four megabytes of rewritable flash memory for storing the operating system. The device is now in the best traditions of Palm equipped with a vibrating alert, an enhanced infrared port and speaker. On the last two - in some detail. Improved infrared at external examination does not itself issue - the same dark window, as in all PDAs, but the built-in program SonyRemote turns your handheld into a powerful remote control. On a beautiful high-resolution screen nice look stylish buttons, that's only the panels you komplektuete of your proposed program of 21 electronics manufacturer, and four kinds of devices: TV, VCR, DVD and music center. That is, if you have supernavorochennaya coffee maker with an infrared remote control, you find yourself in a large bay. But apparently, the Sony were serious reasons not to do your remote programmable, though, to his credit, my old TV Toshiba, brought from Japan in the bearded pre-perestroika years, he recognized immediately. With regard to the improved dynamics, the first thing he impressed me, so it is a coherent phrase «Hello, I'm Clie from Sony» ("Hello, I Klie from Sony") at the beginning of recorded presentations on a PDA device. But he did not for this, but in order to play polyphonic midi files. Have you ever heard anything sweet melodies latest mobile phones from Sony, a diversity pleasant beaten out from the ranks of his fellows? That can Clie is very similar, only quieter music ... nice, but once heard, you know the designer was right, present at inclusion in the PDA Vibrate - otherwise it would be absolutely unheard of.Manages music files on the Pocket PC software Sound Utility, you can listen to tunes, as well as rename and delete. For desktop PCs have a special program to convert MIDI and. Waw files for use on the Sony. Few of the remaining specifications. Processor Motorola DragonBall VZ - 33Mhz, Palm OS version 4.1 - the latest from the existing versions of the battery - Li-Polymer, 800 Mah, slot Memory Stick. The last thing we can say about this handheld computer - it's just a very stylish thing. Sony definitely takes first place among all existing Pocket PC manufacturers, and again, the main article, in addition to advanced e-filling - is design. Clie not just a work tool - an attribute of a successful man with taste. About myself, would I have the required amount of money - would buy without hesitation:) The authors, translation:

IDF Beijing 2007: the future of handheld computers on the version of Intel

Since then, as it became clear that the computer does not need to occupy an entire room, is quite enough and the usual table, users of these computing devices have begun to dream of "a computer in your pocket." Personal computers are gradually reduced their size and variety of forms. Emerged a class of devices like laptop, the first publicly available model was released in 1981, at a certain fitness it could even carry - weight "machine" was 11 kg. The concept of a handheld computer came much later and was originally proposed for devices that actually perform the functions of the organizer. Now the worlds PCs and PDAs is gradually moving to meet each other - PDAs are becoming more powerful and more functional, and PC all portable and suitable for use in mobile environments. Last spring, at the CeBIT trade show it seemed that there was a real breakthrough - was presented to a new class of devices called UMPC - ultra mobile PC. The devices submitted under this name by several manufacturers, were truly portable, runs on Intel Pentium or VIA C7-M, running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. That is, they were not trimmed to device capabilities, and full-fledged computers that they could have run the usual applications for PC users. Separate attempts to create similar devices made before, but they had several shortcomings, which could resist the UMPC, chief among them - the high cost. If predecessors in most UMPC worth about $ 2 thousand, or even above, the ultra-mobile PCs lowered the bar to about $ 1 thousand, however, has shown almost a year available in the sale of such devices, they were not mobile enough - and too big size and battery life work is low. Evolution continues, developers are not standing still. Earlier this year, introduced several new UMPC has a wider variety of form factor and a bit more optimistic figures for the duration of the work on a single battery charge (3-4 hours). Whereas in the past year ultra-mobile PCs were similar to twins - a 7-inch screen form factor "monoblock", and now displays, and thus the size range (5-7 inches), also appeared in various configurations mostly play up different ways to integrate QWERTY-keyboard. At which started in Beijing Intel Developer Forum theme mobile computers, has not remained unaffected. Plans were announced for the new mobile platform based on the new processors for future generations of laptops, also did not escape the topic and smaller machines, approaching in size to the pocket. Firstly, there is demonstrated a prototype of the next UMPC, which is based on has not yet announced by the processor, operating system Windows Vista.At the same time he is able to work about 4.5 hours in offline mode when using the 3D-interface Vista Aero. Well, a small but still one step ahead. Form factor, however, does not differ is originality, a similar form is used, for example, models of Sony UX. Secondly, Intel introduced yet another, new class of devices - MID (Mobile Internet Device). It is noticeably more "pocket" solution than the classical UMPC. Here is how to divide these two classes of devices itself Intel:

• UMPC are intended primarily for mobile professionals, MID - for consumers and professionals
• UMPC equipped with a display diagonal of 5.7 inches, and MID - 4 - 6 inches
• UMPC has a user interface, Windows, and MID - simplified interface
• Finally, one of the major differences - MID will work based on Linux!

MID interface deserves special attention. It was created with a focus on managing your fingers across the touch screen. The organization and design in some places, like the phone interface iPhone, which gradually becomes a model of governance with a finger. Judging by the documents submitted, the first mobile device in this class will work on the basis of the so-called RedFlag MIDInux, first adapted to the MID distro Linux. It is based on the kernel Linux 2.6.20. It is expected that the first version of RedFlag MIDInux will be available in May. The system works well with 256 MB RAM, adapted to the small screen with a resolution of 800x480 pixels or 1024x600 pixels. Potentially supported by the cellular network (WWAN), WLAN, interface Bluetooth, USB (client), GPS, mobile TV and the like. Now the company has introduced several designs of such devices. One of them - intended primarily for entertainment. The device must have a 5.4 inch display, weigh less than 300 grams. Has built-in camera, quick access to control music playback, as well as for games.Supports mobile TV, user interface Bluetooth, including listening to music. The main task of the other - fast access to information and location-based services. The device is equipped with a 5-inch display, has extensive communications capabilities, equipped with GPS-module and FM-tuner. Among other things - working with the services Push e-mail. Information on other design options while there is little, but you can see the image. For example, this version is designed for fans of instant messaging. According to the company's plans in 2008 for such devices will be significantly reduced power consumption, size and thickness. This will be achieved by a complex of measures, including work on the parameters of the display and use of drives based on flash memory (SSD) instead of hard drives based on magnetic disks. Projected to Intel, by 2010 MID market will be about 180 million devices. However, there remain many gaps with respect to performance. It is not known which specific processors will operate the device in one document only mentioned the Intel chipset 915. In any case, it is clear that Intel will do its utmost to promote and support this project, and support for such a giant is worth a lot. Let's wait for the details and see what the future will show:) The authors, translation:

CeBIT 2002: Five concepts from NEC

Let's get acquainted with the views of designers and developers of NEC in the booming market for mobile devices. According to NEC mobile perception becomes more tangible, especially in the areas of entertainment and commerce. In everyday life there is a clear change, a vivid example of this - mobile phones. Already, many do not leave their cell phones. NEC specialists suggest that in the next few years mobile technology will be even more closely intertwined in our lives. First of all we are talking about the fact that consumers perceive the flow of information and communication as a new form of entertainment and recreation. The same applies to all new-fangled mobile devices, frequently performed in the form of accessories. In some way the possession and use of mobile "souvenirs" - this is another form of self-actualization and attitudes.

vial - a network player

Portable music player and communicator. Similar to the pen device used for listening to music via wireless networks. However, as can easily be used as a phone. A built-in handwriting recognition engine, ie makers suggest that the pen will also use to take notes. In addition, attached like a notebook device for viewing visual information - text, graphics, video. Depending on the type of material viewed on the screen, built-in keyboard, you can rotate at a convenient angle. Of course, both components of the vial are able to communicate with each other without wires.

PRISM - home miniteatr

The main charm of PRISM - is its flexible screen that folds easily into a tube inside the main unit. The keyboard, in turn, is inserted into a groove in the bottom. When the screen is minimized, and the keyboard hidden, the device can be used as a compact music player. The front panel provides a flat speaker. The screen can be pulled only partially, for example, to see the email. Well, when it is fully extended, PRISM is transformed into a personal videoteatr.

FLIPPER - the browser in your pocket

But on such a device, considering many. Positioning several narrowish, but we know that such a device can be applied in numerous areas, would be soft, but a little more time. So, what's the "scientific innovation? Firstly, it seems that the whole concept consists of a single screen, and that's fine. Secondly, the developers assure that the device is completely controlled by one hand. Thirdly, Jog-dial synchronized with a menu that goes in a circle on the screen beside him.Again, the allegations with the NEC device is convenient to work and right and left hand, as well as vertically. By the way, Jog-dial can rotate both above and below. Generally, FLIPPER is the closest to a traditional PDA, and if developers can spend it in the series, we'll get a good machine (especially for fans of reading and books).

Palette - a mobile terminal for teens

Communicator for teenagers. Yes it is true: no one except Sybiko to teens is not is risen. But soil is fertile, is not so right? The main purpose of the device - entertainment. And not just so, and to network with free and paid services. One example of such services: remove built-in camera, for example, a person. Your photos are processed on a dedicated server under the leadership of the same Palette. And get all sorts of funny comic character properties.

Glass Navi - GPS-navigator

But it is quite interesting. The concept of GPS-navigation in the performance of NEC practically fit into ordinary sunglasses. The device is able to determine the current coordinates and display all parameters in the three-dimensional form, superimposing them on a real landscape. About the way we show in the James Bond movies. By the way, and maybe Glass Navi simply the fruit of conversion? :) On top of all, the device can display images with the sizes corresponding to the 52-inch monitor. Sources, Materials:

Communication-EXPOCOM-2007: Interview and photo from the exhibition

Exhibition held in Moscow Svyaz-EXPOCOM-2007 from year to year is gaining momentum and becoming more interesting in the context of our subject area. Pleasant fact: at the exhibition this year was quite mobile equipment for high-grade large survey. Another trend is already possible to assume the appearance of the exhibition of a large number of stands of China, as well as stands of some of the major brands active in Russia, which is a good indicator for both the exhibition and for the industry in the country as a whole.

HTC and Windows Mobile

The company HTC, chose one of the best places in the near to the main entrance hall, and past the huge advertising signs to pass without paying attention to her, it was simply impossible. In fact, the booth held a rally of the new HTC smartphone HTC P3400. To participate in a lottery to fill a compact form, answer 4 simple questions and give the completed form girls-promoter. Among the products HTC attended the familiar model. The direction of smartphones was presented classical HTC S310 and S620 keyboard and the S710. Incidentally, S710 was introduced at the show completely Russified, Cyrillic characters are shown as a digital and QWERTY-type keyboard. As we expected in the survey, a place for the Cyrillic alphabet was enough. The letters clearly distinguishable. GPS-communicators are represented by popular HTC P3300 and only that will be available on HTC P3600. The latter was presented in black and white. At first glance, the black unit looks more attractive, but because of the lacquer coating shell P3600 instantly covered with fingerprints. Also on the stand could look at the HTC P3350, which is the twin brother of P3300, only focused on multimedia tasks, rather than the GPS-navigation. Of course, not without its flagship. Stand around with HTC Advantage constantly going to want to look at an unusual device. In short, very much among the novelties provided by the device was not. On the other hand was built separate stand dedicated to accessories that are fed into the time available in retail stores. Among them, Bluetooth-headset, batteries, wired headset, various cables and adapters, as well as a cradle. On the reverse side of the stand are located demonstrators HTC Windows Mobile. At the booth of approximately hourly intervals, were presented opportunities for Windows Mobile 6 Standard. As a demo unit acted HTC S710.

China: Looking for partners in Russia

In the immediate vicinity of the bench HTC are numerous Chinese manufacturers of mobile devices. Range of products - from MP3-players to GPS-communicators. The most prominent among the Chinese companies were notorious TechFaith Wireless (TFW) and SIM Technology. On the stand of OEM-manufacturer of TFW in large numbers are exposed to the development of Windows Mobile. Models, which are now on sale, were presented under the respective brands, while the rest stood behind the glass without any signs. Among the well-known models look immediately identified i-mate K-JAR, i-mate JAQ3 and i-mate SPL. Also shone new AMOI. In the catalog of TechFaith Wireless, this model is called Glider T.

Characteristics are quite common:
• Windows Mobile 5.0
• TI OMAP 850
• Dimensions 114h62h21 mm
• GSM / GPRS / EDGE 900/1800/1900
• Display 2,8 "QVGA
• Memory 128 MB ROM, 64 MB RAM, microSD memory card
• 2 megapixel CMOS-camera
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, miniUSB

Next model - Cynthia 850. Noteworthy is the fact that working with two SIM cards.

• Windows Mobile 6
• TI OMAP 850
• Dimensions: 117h61h16, 4 mm
• GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• Display 2,8 "QVGA
• Memory: 256 MB ROM and 64 MB of RAM, microSD memory card
• 2 megapixel camera
• Bluetooth

There is also a similar model, which supports GSM and CDMA. Not spared Chinese developers and GPS-communicators. On the stand was presented platform Lampson.

Characteristics of the device are as follows:
• Windows Mobile 6
• Intel Xscale 270
• Dimensions 121h62h16
• GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• Display 2,8 "QVGA
• Memory 126 MB ROM and 64 MB of RAM, microSD memory card
• 2 megapixel camera
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB 2.0
• Battery 1500 mAh

Attended the same model, not identifiable, including, for example, the device under the brand of NEC. Several phones obviously borrowed design. And the phone with a touchscreen and support for two SIM cards. By the way, according to Chinese manufacturers of touch screens - a common thing in standard phones. For example, on the company's modestly named HERO SCI-TECH (Hero Science & Technology) immediately attracted the attention of a curious device, very similar to the device. But, according to a company representative, it's just a mobile phone with large touch screen. The idea of ​​Apple iPhone, which is correct until proved only increase shares of Apple, of course, were immediately picked up by the Chinese. On the stand trying to convince that the presented multimedia phone even better and more convenient than a PDA or smartphone: you can call or listen to music or even watch videos;) Next stand with communicators and telephones owned company SIM Technology. Sadly, all equipment was put up just behind the glass. Some models were presented in different versions - for example, the communicator SIM N8300: in the industrial and the standard versions.

N8300 following characteristics:
• Operating system: Windows Mobile 5.0
• Processor: Intel PXA270 416 MHz
• Memory: 64 MB RAM, 128 MB ROM, a memory card - T-Flash
• Dimensions: 118 x 65 x 22 mm.
• Mobile networks: GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
• GPS: SiRF STAR III
• Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
• Display: 2,8 "QVGA
• 2 megapixel camera
• FM-radio

Also, in two different versions was put forward for the platform P2 - communicator with the QWERTY-keyboard and a horizontally oriented display.

The main characteristics of P2:
• Operating system: Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC Phone
• Processor: Samsung 300 MHz
• Memory: 64 MB RAM, 128 MB ROM, a memory card - T-Flash
• Dimensions: 108 x 64 x 15.3 mm
• Mobile networks: GSM / GPRS 900/1800 MHz
• Communication: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 1.1
• Display: 2,4 "QVGA
• 2 megapixel camera

There was also a prototype, which, according to a plan of developers, will run on Windows Mobile 6. In addition to PDA SIM introduced and a few phones, some models have been pretty interesting. For example, the slim slider Q18T (100h50h13 mm) designed for GSM-networks. Another very interesting model - Q8. This GPS-phone working in networks GSM 900/1800/1900. The unit is equipped with a 2.8-inch touch screen, 3Mp camera and Bluetooth. In general, the Chinese stands at the exhibition very much. The Russian market is currently well positioned in terms of "start" for the little-known and most new Chinese firmochek. However, for us it is important that the exhibition Link-Expocom gained strength, and her visit was interesting and specialists in mobile technology. At many pavilions hung here such ad: Some companies may have already found such partners, as evidenced by the flyers with business cards attached to them: Natural consequence could be to introduce shortly a number of presented equipment for sale, if not in mobile phone stores, at least at Gorbushka or Mitinskoe radio market.

What's New from Toshiba

So, after watching enough on the creativity of Chinese manufacturers, we go further, hoping to find something interesting. A long walk through a maze of pavilions, finally crowned with success. At the booth of the Bureau of Business adorned with new items from Toshiba: Toshiba G900 PDA and Smartphone G500, by the way, the Russian version of the site of Toshiba models are called IQ-130 and IQ-120, respectively. I must say that the older model is very interesting - it is perhaps one of the few (if not only) communicators with a display resolution W-VGA (800x480 pixels) with a diagonal of 3 inches. The remaining features of the model is also quite good: the operating system Windows Mobile 6, the processor Intel XScale PXA 272 416 MHz, supporting GSM / GPRS / EDGE and HSDPA, wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, 128 MB RAM and 64 MB ROM, support for cards Memory miniSD, QWERTY-keyboard, 2 megapixel camera, fingerprint scanner. Form factor and size of the display device gives an unequivocal message that the device is intended for convenient work with the Internet. In fact pustevshaya long niche "office" of communicators is gradually filled. Though the machine and a bit too heavy (198 g) in the hand is handy keyboard reminds Glofiish M700, keys respond to pressing clear, they're pretty big space for the Cyrillic alphabet is enough. Approximate cost in Russia - $ 900 in sales model should come in July this year. Toshiba G500 smartphone seemed quite an ordinary model, though perhaps he was somewhat stout. Nevertheless, the characteristics of the model deserve attention. The device supports networks GSM / GPRS / EDGE and HSDPA, is equipped with an Intel processor with 312 MHz, running the operating system Windows Mobile 5.0, equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi, smartphone screen 2.3 inch QVGA, 64 MB RAM and ROM, supports miniSD cards, there is a fingerprint scanner. On this, perhaps the most interesting and intimate topics HPCru stands finished in the next section we'll describe navigation devices and other developments show, and now present to your attention an interview with the company HTC, Vice President of Business in Europe - Florian Seiche.

Quotes from the vice president of HTC

Florian Seiche, vice president of HTC's business in Europe

HPC.ru: What do you think is the situation with regard to platforms Palm, Symbian, Windows Mobile? Will there be a serious change in priorities among users in the near future? FZ: In principle, all these platforms are now actively used and are quite popular among users. Nevertheless, many users are moving towards more sophisticated and modern devices, and often are devices based on Windows Mobile. If we talk about Windows Mobile, I want to say that it is in Russia, we see good growth and are forecasting an increase of sales of Windows Mobile devices in half compared with the previous year. HPC.ru: I would like to receive your comments on smartphones based on Windows Mobile. Their popularity in Russia is not so great. Will there be any steps taken by HTC to promote this platform? FZ: We're trying to do smart phones, targeted primarily for the convenience of e-mail and SMS services. A striking example is the HTC S620 or HTC S710, which are very convenient to write as e-mail, and SMS messages. Previously, we focused specifically on the compactness and maximum similarity with conventional phones, such as HTC S310. Now we want to show the user that the smartphone is more than just a clever hook. Therefore we released S620 and S710, our task is to show that smartphones can be different, and so we offer users a full keyboard for easy text messages and e-mail communication. In addition, these devices support Wi-Fi, which is another advantage over conventional phones. HPC.ru: Will the further development of the keyboard smartphones similar to S620? FZ: Yeah, we think this form factor is very relevant and popular. Undoubtedly, this trend will continue. Already, we have a model HTC S630 Cavalier (formerly known as the HTC S650 - approx. Ed.), Which you may have heard, but its launch is being postponed, because we do not believe that selling now S620 is a completely self-sufficient model. In addition, we do not want to knock successful sales S620. HPC.ru: Many manufacturers now announce a model with a VGA-screen. HTC plans to release models with VGA? FZ: We have already released X7500 Advantage with a VGA-screen and a diagonal of 5 inches, although this device is somewhat different level. HPC.ru: A production of classic communicator with VGA-display is planned? FZ: Yes, we continue to develop in this area and, of course, such devices will, but I now can not announce any exact dates or model. HPC.ru: The majority of new HTC devices are available on OMAP processors, or Samsung, are you planning to release communicators on processors from Intel? FZ: We recently signed a new partnership agreement with Intel, and soon plans to produce about 6 new models, among which are the device and to Intel. In addition, we have already presented UMPC HTC Shift, which is also built on a platform of Intel. HPC.ru: communicator HTC P3600 was originally introduced as a model without the support of GPS, and only subsequently HTC announced that the device supports navigation capabilities. Tell me what is the reason? FZ: The hardware platform was originally developed with the possibilities of GPS-navigation, but with part of the program had some difficulty, required additional refinement. Once we completed the revision of software, we announced an update to this model, the updated software available for free download from our site. HPC.ru: Now in your booth, a special place set aside for various accessories, according to consultants in the near future these accessories are available in retail stores. Can you share some additional plans for the company as a whole and with respect to the Russian market in particular? FZ: I can not voice specific models, but very soon we will present our new development.I can also say that at the moment, we share our potential customers in three target groups. These are professional users who fit such models as the X7500 or Shift. Corporate users who care as to be connected, and use e-mail service for them a great choice would be a model similar to S620. The latter category - ordinary consumers. Here we try to focus on multimedia devices, mobile Internet and GPS-navigation. HPC.ru: Thank you for your time and interesting conversation, and wish you continued success in the Russian market. The authors, translation:
