Psion supports Windows CE in new Netpad

Psion Teklogix, the enterprise mobile computing business, has announced that it will offer a Windows CE version of its Netpad industrial tablet. Companies will also be able to specify integrated 802.11b and GPRS modems.

Psion is the largest shareholder in Symbian, the operating system venture which competes with Microsoft and others in the smartphones market. It was a vocal detractor of Windows CE while it was still in the consumer handheld business, but is now offering its enterprise customers a choice between the Microsoft and Symbian OS.

“By providing real-time wireless connectivity, Psion Teklogix is extending the functionality of the Netpad product line to meet the needs of mobile workers and enabling them to act on information in real-time from their point of activity,” said Joe Iarocci, director of mobile computing, Psion Teklogix. “The Netpad’s unique form factor and ability to withstand the wear and tear in the field make it an ideal tool to help businesses increase productivity, customer service levels and visibility of their supply chain.”
