28th October 2004 - Australia i-mate today are proud
to announce the launch of its first 3G product, the i-mate™
PDA2K EVDO. This launch represents a worldwide first for
i-mate™, with Australia identified as the ideal launch
pad of a global rollout.
| The new i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO represents
a technological breakthrough as it is the first
ever 3G capable device powered by the Microsoft

integrated device operating on Australia’s CDMA
1xEV-DO network.
Powered by the latest Microsoft Windows Mobile™
Pocket PC software, the i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO is
easy to use, and delivers access to much of the
same information on a desktop PC such as emails,
calendar and important documents. The i-mate™
PDA2k EVDO offers an extensive range of functionality
including a convenient built in QWERTY keyboard
(accessible by sliding the screen up), Windows®
Media Player, MSN® Messenger, Bluetooth™, a built
in digital camera/video recorder (with flash),
a sharp 64K full colour screen, a generous 128MB
user memory, and an SDIO slot. Fully versatile,
the i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO is upgradeable and scaleable
to suit changing business & personal requirements.

The new product can also be used as a modem for those
who prefer 1xEV-DO network access via their PC’s. A
great contribution to Australia’s metropolitan and rural
customers alike, i-mate™ expect this new device to help
further alleviate the geographic digital divide.
Jim Morrison, Founder and CEO of i-mate™, had the following
to say about the relevance of this industry defining
advancement to Australians. “I take great pleasure in
offering the i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO to Australian customers
before the rest of the world. They know what they want
and demand the very best. I think they really like the
idea of portable computing but don’t want to compromise
on speed. The i-mate™ PDA2K EVDO delivers broadband
like speeds. It’s that fast and easy to use, you’ll
think you’re still at the office.”
Jim further added, “We’re passionate about delivering
innovative products that take full advantage of network
capabilities to deliver meaningful benefits to customers.
This EVDO based product is living proof.”
