With an integrated digital camera, Windows CE operating system and optional Wi-Fi certified (802.11 High Rate) wireless network capabilities, a new handheld pen tablet computer from Intermec Technologies Corp. brings mobile and field workers a powerful tool for documenting and reporting critical visual images.
"The 6651 is ideal for insurance adjusters, building inspectors, utility repair workers and other mobile personnel that need a lightweight computing tool to capture both a picture along with a data record," said Matt Miller, Senior Product Manger for Intermec. "Now high-quality digital photos and video clips can be captured on the same device used for e-mail, Internet access, calendars and other Windows applications. And, best of all, workers won't have to recharge their unit for an entire workday -- eight hours of battery life. The very bright, high-contrast active color matrix display on the 6651 makes it easy to read in many lighting conditions."
"Warehouse and manufacturing workers can use the 6651 to transmit real-time data and video across a wireless local area network with the optional IEEE 802.11 High-Rate feature," added Miller.
The Intermec 6651 is loaded with standard productivity software including PIM (Personal Information Management) tools and Pocket Office(TM) versions of popular Microsoft(R) applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. It can be used as an "enterprise computing companion," offering access to applications and data via its Pocket Internet Explorer built-in browser thin client software, such as Citrix ICA client. The 6651's unique "fold-over" display offers both clamshell and pen tablet modes. A unique `flip-screen' software feature lets workers electronically reverse the angle of the display panel to change the unit into a signature-capture device so customers can digitally sign receipts and proofs of delivery.
Based on the Microsoft Windows CE operating system (Handheld PC Professional Edition v2.11), the 6651 features a bright, crisp color active matrix LCD screen with a 7.1-inch viewing area and 64K colors. The digital camera has a rotatable, 350,000-pixel CMOS imaging sensor that can capture both still images as well as short video clips.
The unit has a Toshiba 129 MHz MIPS processor, and comes standard with 32 MB RAM, and a Lithium ION battery pack that recharges in only 2.5 hours. The 6651 is certified for Intermec wireless LANs (11 mbps. Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11b and OpenAir). It has both PC Card and Compact Flash capabilities, and VGA /Serial, IrDA and USB ports. The 6651 carries a suggested retail price of $1,495. The unit is also available for sale at www.mobileplanet.com.
