"Our partners have come to expect cutting-edge technology from Handheld,"
said Dale Kyle, president of Handheld US. "The Algiz 7, which is available
exclusively from Handheld, meets the combination requested so often - a
rugged device with a larger screen than a handheld, but without the bulk of
the larger tablets. Offering it at a compelling price makes it all the more
attainable. The Algiz 7 hits that sweet spot and will undoubtedly be just
what many of our customers have needed."
The Algiz 7 comes standard with Bluetooth, WLAN and GPS as well as a
built-in 2-megapixel camera with LED light. Optional 3G cellular capabilities
provide high-speed GSM/UMTS/EVDO data transmission. The Algiz 7 is ready for
Gobi(TM) 2000 technology and has built in antennas, which means that you'll
be able to work on your choice of wireless frequency anywhere in the world.
"Not all our customers will be familiar with the benefits of Gobi 2000,
continued Kyle. "It will support both GSM and CDMA. This is truly a
technology that allows our users to go anywhere in the world and use Algiz 7
with high speed data networks."
Handheld's unique MaxView(TM) screen technology is the latest in outdoor
view ability ensuring the user the best outdoor screen visibility available
on the market. The hot-swappable 2400 mAh dual battery pack lets you change
batteries without shutting down thus giving you the run time needed from your
tablet.
The Algiz 7 is rated IP65 and meets stringent MIL-STD-810G military
standards for withstanding humidity, vibration, drops and extreme
temperatures. Weighing in at a mere 2.4 lbs, this compact tablet is one of
the lightest 7" tablets on the market.
The Algiz 7 will be shown at trade shows all over the world in the coming
months and orders can be placed immediately. First customer shipping will
begin in March.
