Nextcell Introduces the Pocket Spider Wireless Modem and Wireless PortfolioOffering the most powerful, integrated solution for mobile users, Nextcell's Pocket Spider and Wireless Portfolio are specifically designed to enhance Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) functionality, enabling easy access to the Internet and other sources of mission critical data. Pocket Spider supports Windows-powered Pocket PC, as well as with other popular PDA operating systems. The Pocket Spider is available in two PDA interfaces -- serial or Compaq Flash. The modem weighs only a few ounces, is smaller than a PDA and is priced at $399 for the base product and $549 with the GPS capability. Based on the same cellular digital packet data (CDPD) technology as other Nextcell Spider modems and appliances, the Pocket Spider(TM) offers connection speed of 19.2 Kbps and standard CDPD security features such as network encryption and error correction for file messaging and transfers. By simply attaching the compact Pocket Spider module, users add wireless Internet Protocol (IP) to PDA's, enabling browser-based applications and feature-rich capabilities. Using Pocket Spider, mobile professionals can access the Internet and other networks and execute most e-commerce and information gathering functions possible on PC's. Pocket Spider's integrated GPS also makes location identification applications possible, such as field force automation and automatic vehicle location. Nextcell's Wireless Portfolio offers wireless IP technology along with an embedded keyboard to be used with a PDA for streamlined data entry. Encased in an executive-class leather organizer, Wireless Portfolio has all of the accessories a mobile professional uses today. Wireless Portfolio weighs only a few ounces more than a regular notebook and offers built-in connectivity. The convenience, scale and simplicity of Wireless Portfolio will encourage mobile professionals to utilize PDA's with Wireless Portfolio as primary communication and data access appliances.
