Intermec Technologies Corp. today announced plans to incorporate
Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket PC into its CN30 and CK60
rugged mobile computers. This latest version of Windows Mobile,
announced today at the Microsoft Mobile and Embedded DevCon 2005 in
Las Vegas, makes it possible to develop new innovative devices that
include a powerful variety of productivity enhancements. The CK60,
Intermec's most rugged mobile computer, is designed specifically
for the physically demanding requirements of the direct store
delivery (DSD) market. Its onboard, non-volatile Persistent Storage
memory preserves applications and databases even if the battery
becomes depleted, and an SDIO card slot enables use of removable
storage cards, providing more memory for large databases. Windows
Mobile 5.0's new support for soft keys allows improved navigation
within applications without the use of a stylus. The CN30 is a
modular mobile computer that allows users to easily build the
device they need, delivering incomparable versatility in a common
platform for all retail store management and operations
applications. The automated data capture industry's first
full-screen, 640 x 480 pixel, high-resolution VGA color display
provides easy navigation and optimal visibility for today's most
demanding retail application programs, whether traditional
text-based emulations or fully-graphic Web pages in the Windows
Mobile 5.0 enhanced Internet Explorer. "The advanced networking and
communications capabilities of Windows Mobile 5.0 will enable the
Intermec CK60 and CN30 devices to dramatically increase
data-processing speeds and provide mobile professionals with
reliable access to mission-critical information wherever they are,"
said Kevin Dallas, general manager for the Mobile and Embedded
Devices Division at Microsoft Corp. "We're pleased that Intermec
plans to build its latest rugged devices on Windows Mobile 5.0."
"The features in Windows Mobile 5.0 provide a powerful platform for
Intermec to design products that increase the productivity of our
customers' mobile workers," said Intermec Vice President Mike
Colwell. "No matter what the form factor, Windows Mobile provides a
familiar, easy-to-use interface for the end user and a consistent
development environment for creating customized applications." The
CK60 with Windows Mobile 5.0 will be available for delivery in the
third quarter of 2005. The CN30 will be available for order in Q2,
with delivery in Q3. About Intermec Intermec Technologies Corp., a
