First Dual-SIM Windows 3G HSDPA Mobile Handset Wins Award

E-TEN has been awarded the Best Choice of Computex Award 2008 for its innovative new Glofiish DX900 – the first dual-SIM Windows Mobile handset to support HSDPA and EDGE.

The DX900 ( left ) is being showcased at the E-TEN booth along with three more industry-leading Pocket PC Phones - the Glofiish V900 the first to support mobile TV, the Glofiish X900 for consumers who demand the best, and the great value Glofiish X610.

E-TEN Information Systems has kicked off Computex 2008, the world’s second largest computer expo, with the launch of four new Pocket PC Phones and in the process earned itself a prestigious Best Choice of Computex Award. The new handsets and the company’s complete lineup of industry defining Glofiish Pocket PC Phones will be on show at the E-TEN booth between June 3 - 7.

E-TEN was awarded the Best Choice of Computex accolade for its new Glofiish DX900 – the world’s first dual-SIM & dual standby Windows Mobile handset to support HSDPA and EDGE. The DX900 is a simple solution to an increasingly in-demand requirement for consumers who need access to two mobile communications services, but don’t want to carry around two devices at the same time. The DX900 allows users to have uninterrupted access to two separate phone services, for example one for business and one personal, or one for calls and another for data, in a single device. Frequent business travelers can use local SIM card and home SIM card in the same device at the same time.

The Glofiish DX900 features support for both high-speed 3.5G (UMTS/HSDPA) and 2G (GSM/EDGE) communications, as well as GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity, a high-resolution VGA display, and a 3-megapixel auto-focus camera.

The Glofiish V900 marks the premier of mobile digital TV to E-TEN’s Pocket PC lineup, allowing users to keep up-to-date with the latest news, TV shows and sports, even when on the move. The V900 boasts an ultra-sharp VGA display and supports multiple standards including DVB-T/H and T-DMB/DAB meaning the thrill of over-the-air TV can be enjoyed almost anywhere around the world.

For consumers who demand the best mobile experience, the Glofiish X900 delivers blisteringly-fast UMTS/HSDPA connectivity ideal for high-speed web-browsing, video streaming, and VoIP calls, and allows documents, web-pages, pictures and video to be enjoyed on its clear VGA display.

Finally, the Glofiish X610 offers both value and functionally in a sleek handset that’s perfect for GPS navigation and everyday communications.

In addition to industry-leading hardware innovations and the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 platform, all the new handsets feature a new touch interface that revolutionizes the way users interact with their Glofiish phones though gestures, finger-friendly icons and 3D animations.

Computex attendees are welcomed to come and visit the E-TEN booth to get hands on with the Glofiish DX900, V900, X900 and X610 as well as the company’s complete lineup of Glofiish Pocket PC Phones designed for business users and consumers on the move.

The Samsung F480 combines a new and unique UI, having specially designed widgets to customise and personalise the way you use your phone, packaged in a slim and premium form.

The quick and simple ‘drag and drop’ feature lets users have instant access to their favourite functions at a moment’s touch. A unique menu of widgets display functions such as the clock, radio player, music player and more personal elements including photos and birthday reminders, which users can ‘drag and drop’ onto their home screens to suit their personal needs. Samsung’s differentiated tactile technology also gives users a tangible and pleasing feedback sensation when items are selected.

“Samsung’s F480 has been designed with its users in mind, ensuring that its aesthetically pleasing design was equally matched when it came to the way that users interact with the mobile.” said Jay Kim from Samsung’s UX Design Team.

“Our UI, housed within this slim and minimalist design, means that Samsung has secured its position at the forefront of the market.” said Kim.

The ultra-slim credit card size and refined texture make the F480 smooth and stylish. The chic, brushed metal finish gives it visual sophistication, further enhanced by its premium leather case, which also serves to protect the touch screen when you’re on the move.

The smart and emotional touch interface coupled with its sophisticated design appeal to users who are looking for the latest functionality and enjoy expressing their individuality.

MOTO Z10 Offers Web Video Search Service

Motorola announced an array of applications from ecosystem partners available now on the MOTO Z10 mobile device, taking the mobile experience for consumers to a whole new level.

MOTO Z10 is a 3G device based on the Symbian OS and UIQ platform that offers a complete, pocket-sized, mobile film studio in a unique ergonomic kick slider design.

Leveraging the strength and momentum of Motorola’s developer ecosystem, the MOTO Z10 comes pre-loaded with a selection of software, content and applications which further enhance its capabilities -- from displaying full feature films to capturing, editing and sharing high-quality video clips.

In addition to the applications pre-loaded to the MOTO Z10 device, hundreds of applications and content titles have been developed and made available by the broader Symbian and UIQ development community for consumers to discover.

The MOTO Z8, another Motorola kick slider device offering a mobile multimedia experience, has also seen great success with over 1000 applications and content titles developed for it since launch last year -- with many of these applications also available for use on the MOTO Z10.

“Increasingly, consumers expect that their mobile device will do more than make a phone call or send a text message -- it must also support features and applications that complement their interests and lifestyle,” said Christy Wyatt, vice president, software platforms & ecosystem, Motorola. “By leveraging the rich multimedia foundation available in the Symbian platform and the extensive programs and services available though our MOTODEV Developer program, developers are able to enrich and extend Motorola products such as the MOTO Z8 and Z10 to create a unique, personalized mobile experience for our users.”
