Motorola has introduced their ES400 EDA (Enterprise Digital Assistant), a Windows Mobile-based handheld device that runs the Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. The ES400 EDA is a rugged handheld device that works pretty much like a rugged PDA but it also supports HSPA/3G and WiFi connectivity that makes it suitable for use in various work environments.
The ES400 has a 600MHz ARM11 processor, 256MB RAM, 1GB Flash memory. It also has a 3-inch PenTil 640×479 touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, barcode reader and a microSD card slot. The ruggedness of this device meets the military standard, the MIL-STD 810G drop, temperature, vibration and rain standards and exceeds the IP42 rating.
The device also allows you make call, as it packs tri-band HSDPA/HSUPA, quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band CDMA/EVDO radios. It also has WiFi, Bluetooth and aGPS. With the Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro, it runs customizable Enterprise UI that allows always-on access to Enterprise applications. The features at a glance of the device are as follows:
* One button push-to-scan: 1D and 2D bar code reading fulfilling the needs of mobile workers.
* Large, super-bright, three-inch VGA screen (750 NITS – nearly twice as bright as consumer devices for usage indoors and outdoors) plus integrated keyboard.
* Easy and accurate input with stylus and touch-screen allowing signature capture that is often necessary for completing field tasks.
* Standard battery power to endure full shifts in nearly any work environment. An extended-life battery is also available.
* True worldwide communications with user-selectable 3.5G WAN: GSM HSPA and CDMA EVDO RevA compatibility.
* Broad WLAN functionality supporting 802.11 a/b/g, enabling data, and in 2011, an application for push-to-talk over VoIP compatibility.
* Durable construction to withstand dust, drops and bumps occurring every business day. Meets MIL-STD 810G drop specifications leading to lower total cost of ownership.
* Enterprise-class security including built-in biometric fingerprint reader.
* Three-year life cycle for easier, better IT support and product management, support and service programs designed for business, adding to a better return on investment.
* Built on the standards-based Windows Mobile 6.5 platform to power seamless connectivity, application compatibility and support for industry-specific applications and advanced security and device management mobility needs.
