i-mateTM is also launching the JAQ4 - the first i-mateTM device to ship with Windows Mobile 6 ? a sturdy QWERTY keyboard GPS phone with a five-way joystick and scroll wheel allowing for easy navigation and use of services including push email. Furthermore, the landscape 2.8? colour touch screen supports the use of the stylus as an increasingly popular means of accessing and writing email and messages.
i-mateTM is also addressing the more fashion-conscious 18-34 year old segment with a range of brightly coloured SPL devices in red, pink, blue in addition to black. These SPLs will extend the benefits of Windows Mobile functionality with popular consumer features such as a 2.0 mega pixel camera and video capabilities to an all-new audience.
Morrison reveals, ?We are thrilled to be bringing this exciting portfolio of devices to the market made possible by the freedom we now enjoy as an OEM in our own right.?
As part of i-mate?s service proposition, 3GSM will also mark the launch of i-mate?s Customization Order and Management Solution (COMS). COMS, a web-based application that integrates customization and logistics to ensure that i-mateTM devices are ready to use ?out-of-the-box?, complete with corporate, enterprise or small volume customizations. System Integrators (SI) and Value Added Resellers (VAR) will use COMS to customize Windows
Mobile-based devices according to specific customer needs, from security and data synchronization to applications, ring-tones and look-and-feel in as little as 48 hours. Mobile Operators can use COMS to improve their services to the enterprise segment and to accelerate their time-to-market with new mobile devices to address the rapidly expanding mobile workforce. IDC estimates that the worldwide mobile worker population will grow to 878.2 million
in 2009 to account for 21.3 percent of the global work force.
