i-mate gets a foot in Asia's door

John Chan | Jun 20, 2007

At CommunicAsia 2007, i-mate announced that it will be expanding its operations into more areas in Asia. Originating in Dubai, this company already has a presence in the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe.

Early this year, i-mate released images and specifications of its Ultimate line of handhelds. These five devices come in different form factors and all run on Windows Mobile 6. They also feature VGA displays rather than the more common QVGA ones found on most current Windows Mobile handhelds. Every one of them also supports HSDPA and direct video-out up to XGA resolution.

The company will tap into this region with its base in Singapore. Two devices from the Ultimate range, the 8150 and 6150 PDA-phones, will be sold in Asia from September.
