Psion enhances netBook with GPRS

Psion has announced an updated version of its netBook sub-notebook device for enterprise markets.

The netBook uses the Symbian OS and provides a near full-size keyboard, colour screen and a full suite of PIM, productivity and communications applications. The latest edition has an enhanced version of the Symbian OS and supports GPRS and ISDN PC cards. Psion has improved support for all types of fixed and wireless networking and added the latest version of the Opera secure web browser. Psion no longer manufactures consumer handhelds, but the popularity of the netBook in enterprise markets has ensured its continued production.

“With the widespread adoption of mobile enterprise computing solutions, users are becoming more demanding and hence products must fulfil these requests to win marketshare,” said Norbert Dawalibi, vice president marketing, strategy and business development, Psion Teklogix. “The enhanced netBook OS meets these demands by allowing its users to stay at the forefront of the industry both from a technology and competitive standpoint.”
