Intel®￿XScale TM￿microarchitecture

Users￿ of￿ the￿ new￿ generation￿ of￿ highly￿ scalable,￿ integrated￿ microprocessors￿ will￿ enjoy￿ high-performance￿processing￿ functions,￿such￿as￿voice￿and￿secure￿data￿transmission￿on￿enterprise￿infrastructure￿equipment.￿The￿processor￿offers￿high￿ performance￿for￿Pocket￿LOOX￿for￿processing￿hungry￿applications￿such￿as￿streaming￿audio￿and￿video.￿The￿Intel￿XScale￿ technology￿pushes￿RISC￿performance￿to￿new￿heights,￿allowing￿complex￿data￿to￿be￿processed￿over￿both￿the￿wired￿and￿ wireless￿ Internet.￿ The￿ technology's￿ low￿ power￿ consumption￿ enables￿ long￿ battery￿ life￿ for￿ wireless￿ and￿ handheld￿ multimedia￿ devices,￿ and￿ allows￿ for￿ increased￿ device￿ density￿ in￿ Internet￿ infrastructure￿ applications￿ through￿ reduced￿ thermal￿constraints.￿

The￿ Intel®￿ XScale™￿ technology￿ delivers￿ key￿ advantages￿ for￿ a￿ wide￿ range￿ of￿ market￿ segments￿ from￿ battery -powered,￿wireless￿and￿handheld￿applications￿such￿as￿digital￿phones￿and￿personal￿digital￿assistants￿to￿such￿Internet￿infrastructure￿ applications￿as￿network￿processors￿and￿intelligent￿I/O￿processors.￿Fully￿compliant￿with￿the￿ARM*￿v.5TE￿instruction￿set,￿ this￿ new￿ technology￿ provides￿ a￿ full-featured,￿cost-effective,￿low-power￿solution￿ with￿ support￿ for￿ both￿ 16-bit￿Thumb*￿ instructions￿and￿integrated￿digital￿signal￿processor￿(DSP)￿instructions.￿ The￿Intel®￿XScale™￿technology￿will￿break￿new￿ground￿in￿the￿devices￿tha t￿expand￿the￿future￿of￿the￿Internet.￿

Communication

It￿is￿the￿availability￿of￿new￿wireless￿communication￿technologies￿that￿will￿bring￿new￿functionality￿to￿the￿PDA￿market.￿With￿ the￿introduction￿of￿GPRS,￿higher￿speeds￿than￿ever￿before￿are￿possible,￿opening￿up￿not￿only￿fast￿E-mail￿transfer￿and￿fast￿web￿browsing,￿but￿even￿streaming￿video￿and￿other￿multimedia￿applications.

With￿the￿integrated￿BluetoothTM￿module￿the￿communication￿to￿mobile￿phones,￿printers,￿computers￿and￿other￿devices￿with￿ BluetoothTM￿technology￿can￿be￿established￿in￿an￿easy￿manner.￿Surfing￿the￿Internet￿or￿connecting￿to￿the￿company￿net￿is￿ practicable￿with￿Bluetooth,￿WLAN￿and￿other￿possibilities.￿Synchronization￿of￿Pocket￿LOOX￿with￿the￿desktop￿system￿can￿ be￿done￿also￿over￿Bluetooth￿as￿well￿as￿over￿USB,￿serial￿cable￿or￿IrDA.

The￿Pocket￿LOOX￿is￿the￿perfect￿device￿for￿creating,￿sending￿and￿receiving￿E-mails￿while￿on￿the￿move.￿It￿offers￿you￿a￿lot￿of￿ possibilities￿ without￿carrying￿ heavy￿ equipment￿ with￿ you￿or￿ going￿ through￿the￿ hassle￿of￿ connecting￿different￿devices.￿ With￿ the￿ use￿ of￿ the￿ integrated￿ Pocket￿ Outlook,￿ E-mails￿can￿ also￿ easily￿ be￿ managed￿ and￿ synchronized￿ with￿ the￿ PC￿ or￿ Notebook.

GPRS￿connectivity￿(General￿Packet￿Radio￿Service)

A￿GSM/GPRS￿plug-on￿module￿will￿be￿available￿as￿an￿accessory￿from￿Q4/2002￿onwards.￿It￿is￿a￿dual￿band￿900/1800mHz,￿GPRS￿ClassB/8,￿which￿allows￿wireless￿Internet￿access,￿using￿either￿the￿HTML￿standard,￿WAP￿or￿offers￿even￿full￿mobile￿ functionality￿with￿or￿without￿a￿headset.￿

GPRS￿is￿a￿packet￿based￿GSM-technology,￿whereby￿customers￿are￿only￿charged￿for￿the￿communication￿resources￿they￿use.￿A￿major￿goal￿of￿GPRS￿is￿to￿provide￿fast￿and￿efficient￿end-to-end￿packet￿mode￿access￿to￿Internet￿network￿services.￿GPRS￿makes￿it￿possible￿and￿cost-effective￿to￿remain￿constantly￿connected,￿as￿well￿as￿to￿send￿and￿receive￿data￿at￿much￿higher￿speeds￿than￿current￿mobile￿phones.

Theoretical￿ maximum￿ speeds￿ of￿ up￿ to￿ 171.2￿ kilobits￿ per￿ second￿ (kbps)￿ are￿ achievable￿ with￿ GPRS,￿ using￿ all￿ eight￿ timeslots￿at￿the￿same￿time.￿This￿is￿about￿three￿times￿as￿fast￿as￿the￿data￿transmission￿speeds￿possible￿over￿today's￿fixed￿ telecommunications￿networks￿and￿ten￿times￿as￿fast￿as￿current￿Circuit￿Switched￿Data￿services￿on￿GSM￿networks.￿

By￿ allowing￿ information￿ to￿ be￿ transmitted￿ more￿ quickly,￿ immediately￿ and￿ efficiently￿ across￿ the￿ mobile￿ network,￿ GPRS￿ may￿well￿be￿a￿relatively￿less￿costly￿mobile￿data￿service￿compared￿to￿SMS￿and￿Circuit￿Switched￿Data.￿ With￿the￿GPRS￿Class￿8/B,￿the￿device￿can￿handle￿up￿to￿4￿timeslots￿downstream￿and￿one￿upstream.￿A,￿B￿or￿C￿stands￿for￿ the￿ capability￿ of￿ having￿ voice￿ calls￿ simultaneously￿ to￿ data￿ calls.￿ The￿ Pocket￿ LOOX￿ has￿ class￿ B,￿ meaning￿ you￿ cannot￿ make￿voice￿calls￿at￿the￿same￿time￿as￿data￿calls,￿but￿it￿will￿alert￿you￿during￿the￿data￿call￿that￿you￿have￿an￿incoming￿voice￿ call.￿“A”￿means￿voice￿and￿data￿can￿be￿mixed￿and￿C￿means￿not￿even￿an￿alert￿can￿be￿given.
