Is it a PDA?

The PocketSurfer™ is a dedicated Internet device. However, it does provide access to any web enabled PDA functions such as calendars, address books and email.

Why would I need this device instead of my PDA or wireless phone which both access the Web?

PDAs focus on several applications from contact information to calendars and schedules – the primary focus is not Internet access. PocketSurfer’s™ main focus is to deliver the real Web experience to the user, faster than any other wireless Web technology.

Why would I want to carry more than one device?

Most people rely on multiple devices to serve their needs for a number of reasons: lifestyle, form factor, complexity, ease of use, and price. The most popular handheld devices are the lightest and smallest. Convergence of multiple functions and applications add volume as well as cost to the device. PocketSurfer™ provides a full web experience quickly, easily and affordably in one small, lightweight unit that compliments your existing handheld devices.

Are there any other devices like this on the market?

No. Nothing compares to its speed and full Web access.

What do you mean when you say the “real” Web?

THE REAL WEB: While you can access the Web wirelessly on other devices, only the PocketSurfer™ allows you to see the Web just like you would on your desktop – unaltered Web access without ‘scrunching’ content through Web clipping, transcoding or reformatting. It is - the first complete, yet truly mobile, view of the Web, the PocketSurfer’s™ larger screen delivers an experience similar to that of the desktop — through a full VGA-width, 640-pixel, color screen, compared to 320 pixels on most PDAs and 120 pixels on most wireless phones.

How many models of PocketSurfer™ are available?

One PocketSurfer™ model is available with multiple Bluetooth® adapters for most handsets.

Will Wireless-Broadband-Access negate the need for PocketSurfer’s™ solution?

PocketSurfer’s™ technology becomes more valuable with the introduction of next generation higher-bandwidth networks because it will still offer faster Web-access over alternative solutions, and at a lower cost of usage.

How big is it?

Just like the name implies, PocketSurfer™ is small enough to fit into your pocket. Its sleek design measures 5.98 inches by 2.97 inches by .58 inches (with case closed).

How fast is it?

SPEED: PocketSurfer™ users will be able to access the Web in its original HTML content, with the original layout and full graphics in seconds. PocketSurfer™ offers a full Web experience in a matter of seconds, faster than most PDAs or other wireless devices. Most pages will download in less than seven seconds, and even faster on 2.5 and 3G networks.

What can I do with the PocketSurfer™?

With the PocketSurfer™ you can perform any function that you would normally do using any Web browser.

It also provides you with basic PDA functions on the Web that can also be registered in your unit.

Does the device offer any other applications, such as the Microsoft Office Suite?

Consumers can use it to access everything they normally would on the Web such as an infinite variety of communication (email & messaging), content (news, weather, sports, entertainment) and commerce applications (finance, sales force automation, field service, auctions, shopping).

Can I transfer my files with this device?

It is possible however to forward emails that already contain an attached file. All the other functions like writing email, searching over the net, purchasing items, chatting, etc, are available using the PocketSurfer™.

Can I play games on the device?

While board games will work on the device, fast-moving flash games may not be appropriate.

Will video work on the device?
