Ositech
brings Nokia handset users with PDAs in from the cold!
Direct-Connect
data connection kits for the latest Nokia handsets and PDAs from
HP/Compaq, Sony and Palm.
Guelph,
Ontario, December 29, 2003:
The wait for owners of current generation Nokia handsets and PDAs
is over. Ositech is
announcing the availability of direct connect data connection kits
for the Nokia cellular phones and PDAs from HP/COMPAQ, SONY
and PALM.
With the ever-increasing
proliferation of PDAs and cellular data, mobile professionals are
becoming more and more productive and servicing more customers
while on the move. A
recent study to analyze productivity gains suggests that use of
these devices enables the users at least an hour of more time to
connect with their customers each week.
Current
generation of Nokia handsets now use a new accessories connector
designed by Nokia and called the Pop-PortTM.
The data connectivity cable for these handsets from Nokia focus on
the laptop users only and overlook the users of PDAs who need to
connect to the Internet using their cellular phones.
While the owners of laptops with USB ports can use the
Nokia data accessory, PDA owners who would like to do the same
cannot do so because PDAs predominantly come with serial interface
for data and syncing, not the power hungry USB port.
“When
it comes to connecting the PDA with your cellular phone, the
cleanest way is to use a direct connect handset to PDA cable”
said Joseph Casarin, Field Application Engineer for Ositech.
“This is the reason why these direct connect cables are
so popular. Apart from being the easiest, they also are the least
expensive solution in terms of cost”, he added.
Users
of Nokia handsets and PDAs now have a solution provided by
Ositech’s Direct Connect kits. This is the only solution available on
the market which bridge this connectivity gap.
The plug and play kit retails for $49.95 USD and does
not require any other software to be loaded onto your PDA for it
to work. Just plug it
in and surf the cyber highways at top speeds supported by your
handset. It’s that
simple.
For
users of other PDAs or vertical applications a standard DB9F to
Nokia handset kit is also available.
The kits will start shipping to customers by the end of
next month.
