MS Press | at | by Mike
Microsoft Corp. and Toshiba Corp. today announced that Toshiba has chosen the Microsoft® Pocket PC platform to power its upcoming line of next-generation personal digital assistants (PDAs). Toshiba, a leader in mobile computing for corporate customers, plans to expand and extend the use of its highly successful line of laptops and other mobile devices by building Pocket PCs, the first of which will launch today in Japan.
As do all Pocket PC devices, Pocket PCs from Toshiba will offer unmatched functionality, including a rich user interface, secure corporate and Web access, access to e-mail, an enhanced personal information manager and multimedia capabilities. In addition, the Toshiba Genio will be the first Pocket PC on the market to have built-in, dual-expansion capabilities utilizing both Compact Flash II and Secure Digital (SD) expansion slots. This increased integrated expandability will enable Pocket PC users to run additional industry-standard memory and input-output options, including wireless expansion, simultaneously on their devices.
