"The i-mate™ PDA2 is one of the most powerful and expandable mobile devices on the market. The efficiency gains to be had could mean the device pays for itself in no time” said Jim Morrison, Founder and Chief Executive of i-mate™. “Over and above the advanced features of the device itself, the real difference is in the i-mate™ value added services we offer and global warranty play a key role in i-mate™’s strategy to deliver the ultimate mobile experience.” The elite web portal, www.clubimate.com, provides all i-mate™ device owners 24/7 technical advice, support and value added services such as free hosted Microsoft® Exchange e-mail, exclusive i-mate™ interactive games and upgrade patches for download. “Club i-mate™ is our virtual community dedicated to helping customers get the most from their devices.”

All i-mate™ devices run on the Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ Operating System. The bright 3.5” QVGA Transflective touch screen of the i-mate™ PDA2, with screen view rotation function, is excellent for extra-wide viewing space. Users can access and edit Microsoft® Office Word and Excel documents, manage emails on the move, and also view and navigate PDF files. Also, for the first time, the i-mate™ PDA2 features an Arabic handwriting recognizer, and transcriber, as well as the traditional on screen Arabic keyboard. The built in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth connectivity and Skype™ (VoIP calling) makes the i-mate™ PDA2 one of the most versatile Pocket PC Phones available today. In addition, the i-mate™ PDA2 is compatible with the accessories of its predecessor, the i-mate™ Pocket PC.
It’s not all just about business, with the built in Windows Media Player® 10 users can relax and enjoy music or video anywhere; and the 1.3 mega-pixel digital still and video camera ensures you can capture any moment to share with friends and family.
"An outstanding feature of the i-mate™ PDA2 is its ability to be customized with innovative business applications to deliver remote access to a company’s core systems in real-time,” commented Mr Morrison. “Our devices are highly scalable and can be configured to match the needs of a wide variety of industry applications like field and sales force automation, and asset management.”
