Market and competition

The market for a variety of highly portable-computingproducts, including Personal Companions, clamshell PDAs (includes a keyboard) and smart phones is growing not as fast as during the last year due to the economic situation, but nevertheless is still growing with a high potential. Previously used as organisers, their use and value as business tool is more and more recognised.

The general term PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) can be divided into several sub-groups:Clamshell PDAs with keyboard, andpen-basedpalm size tablet PDAs are the main groups. The Pocket LOOX belongs to the pocket PDA group, nowadays called Personal Companion.

PDAs use an embedded operating system. With Microsoft’s launch of PocketPC 2002 in October 2001 the successor of PocketPC is available. New OS, new CPU and the development of other components of Personal Companions give the vendors the possibility to build a new generation of devices. In case of the Pocket LOOX it is the device with the latest technologies available. Microsoft PocketPC 2002 is in the family of operating systems for PDAs that is expected to be the one with the highest potential in gaining market share. Because of it being a standard OS, an ever-growingnumber of companies are developing software solutions based on PocketPC, be it navigation software orserver-basedsynchronisation etc. Seamless information exchange with Microsoft Outlook – either on the desktop or directly through the server – is guaranteed because of the close family relationship.

Product description

Intel® XScale TM microarchitecture

Users of the new generation of highly scalable, integrated microprocessors will enjoy high-performanceprocessing 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 afull-featured,cost-effective,low-powersolution with support for both16-bitThumb* 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-mailtransfer 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-mailswhile 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-mailscan also easily be managed and synchronized with the PC or Notebook.

GPRS connectivity (General Packet Radio Service) A GSM/GPRSplug-onmodule 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 efficientend-to-endpacket mode access to Internet network services. GPRS makes it possible andcost-effectiveto 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.

Bluetooth

Fujitsu Siemens Pocket Loox N560 User Manual

BluetoothTM is designed as ashort-range(10 – 100m) cable replacement technology linking multiple devices wirelessly for synchronization, data transmission and file transfer. Furthermore it allows BluetoothTM equipped devices to access the LAN or Internet quickly and easily. Pocket LOOX has an internal Bluetooth module with a range of 100m.

More information like White Papers can be found under: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/wireless

Interfaces

The Pocket LOOX comes with various interfaces such as an integrated microphone and loudspeaker as well as the stereo headphone connector - and of course an infrared port and the cradle connector. With help of the standard USB or optional serial cable you are able to connect the Pocket LOOX to your PC.

Infrared

The Pocket LOOX comes with a built-inInfrared (IrDA) interface as standard. This allows wireless data transfer, e.g. to desktop computers and notebooks, or communication with other peripheral devices such as printers, beamers or mobile

phones.

Compact Flash (CF) Card slot

Above all, the Pocket LOOX sports a CF Card slot type II and a SD/MMCard slot (MultiMediaCard). The CF Card slot, originally made for flash memory cards, can be compared to the PCMCIA slots on a laptop. With an adapter, they are even interchangeable – with the difference that the form factor is less than half the size and thus much lighter. As they are meant for battery operated PDAs, they use power much more efficient as PCMCIA cards. Several types of CF Cards such as WLAN Cards and IBM Microdrive (1GB) are available. Of course, flash memory cards for memory expansion still work as well.

Secure Digital (SD) / Multimediacard (MMCard) slot

The SD Card is mainly used in digital cameras or MP3 players. With a much smaller form factor than CF Cards, these storage cards - the SD/MMCards - are the ideal way of exchanging and storing information.

Display

Pocket LOOX comes with a bright 240x320 pixel 65.536-colourreflective TouchScreen, which is intended for use with a stylus or with fingertip and offers best indoor and outdoor usage.

Operating System

Pocket LOOX is based on the latest Microsoft operating system for PDAs, the Pocket PC 2002 software. This very powerful OS has become a standard in PDA operating systems. Its constantly growing market share and the large developer community is ensuring compatibility and many software solutions. Not that the standard software offering leaves much to complain about. Pocket Outlook, Pocket Word and Pocket Excel will give you a small office away from the office. Together with terminal client functionality and server based synchronization, it gives the user a fully functional mobile office in a handy form factor.

Accessories

Additional to the standard delivery package, which includes a protection bag, cradle, USB cable and TouchScreen stylus, there are several optional accessories available. For instance a second battery plug-on,a GSM/GPRSplug-onmodule (as of Q4/2002), various CF Cards like wLAN and IBM microdrive as well as a foldable keyboard and sync cables to mention just a few.

Security

It would be difficult to deploy a business application on a mobile device throughout an organization without any thought to security such as a password that is automatically set when powered off. Pocket LOOX is designed with this feature for which there is no back door – no way for someone to get access to the applications or data on the device without the power-onpassword as long as the password is set.

In addition to device password protection, mobile device security includes a documented security policy in the enterprise, authentication, encryption, public key infrastructure (PKI), virtual private networking, and protection against viruses. There are many security offerings for Pocket PCs, from Microsoft and third parties.

Flash-ableROM.

Organizations deploying large numbers of mobile devices should evaluate the cost and benefits of devices that store the operating system and core applications on an updateable, “flash” ROM chip. While this may add a little more to the cost of each device, updates to the operating system and core applications can be remotely installed in the field without having to swap or replace devices.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers will offer customized devices for projects/companies as an additional service. Therefore the customer will receive one device as the other, fitting to his needs after consideration of his needs and specifications.

In some cases, systems management, virus protection and custom applications may be placed in flash ROM so that even if a user does a hard reset of the device by removing all batteries, these applications are not lost or deactivated.

Authentication.

Accessing corporate networks or restricted Internet sites requires support for secure authentication protocols. These include dial-upauthentication using Windows NT® Challenge/Response and optionally SecureID card support, authentication when accessing a secure Web site with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, fingerprint authentication,picture-basedpasswords, and signature authentication for certain applications. Pocket PC 2002 supports both4-digitand strong alphanumericpower-onpasswords. Each time an incorrect password is attempted, a time delay that increases exponentially is enforced. The File Explorer application has new support for accessing shared Windowsbased file servers. User authentication is required for accessing these servers.

Networking security

To encrypt data for protection from unauthorized access, a device must support industry-standard40-bitor128-bitencryption or be able to use a corporate standard encryption technique that can plug into theindustry-standardCryptoAPI. Data is also encrypted when using the Internet to connect to a corporate server using a virtual private networking protocol (e.g., PPTP or IPSec). Pocket PC 2002 now includes support for thePoint-to-PointTunneling VPN Protocol. Additional VPN protocol support is available from third parties.

The static shared-keyWired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm has now been documented by researchers at the University of California to be easily defeated. As a result, this means alternative approaches are necessary for securely connecting over 802.11b wireless LANs using Pocket PCs. These two secure alternatives are available today:

VPN:

In the first approach, the 802.11b access points can be directly connected to the Internet. Virtual Private Networking software on the Pocket PC can then be used to authenticate the user and provide a strongly encrypted connection to an organization’s network.

LEAP:

The second approach is done with the 802.11b access points connecting directly to an organization’s internal network. Cisco offers an authentication scheme based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) called EAP-CiscoWireless or LEAP. This uses the 802.1x draft standard as a foundation and adds modifications necessary for wireless LANs.

Virus scanning.

Anti-virusproducts are now available from a number of companies. The latest Pocket PC 2002 version contains an antivirus API designed by feedback from software companies creatingvirus-scanningproducts. This is intended to simplify their process for finding new potential viruses by easily detecting new files coming onto the device through different mechanisms (e.g., attached toe-mail,cut and paste from a network file server, etc.) These products are intended to prevent known viruses from being passed into the corporate network via a Windows Powered mobile device.

Applications

Pocket Excel and Pocket Word are integrated into the operating system. This allows viewing documents and making changes while away from the PC. Other applications are amongst others Mediaand Video players (for MP3 and MPEG4)

Through the open nature of the Pocket PC Operating System, many third-partyapplications,e.g.car-navigationor database systems run on Pocket LOOX. With Pocket Outlook, a powerful organizer is also embedded. Not only does it keep track of appointments, with several reminder functions, it also manages contacts and tasks.

The GSM/GPRS module gets its phonebook out of the Pocket Outlook Contacts. No need to enter phone numbers separately.

Fujitsu Siemens Loox N560 Manual Pdf

Cons

• ✕Lacks Bluetooth
• ✕some navigation glitches during testing

Fujitsu Siemens Computers

Fujitsu Siemens' range of Pocket LOOX Windows Mobile handhelds has recently been augmented by the N series, which includes a built-in GPS receiver and version 5 of the Navigon Mobile Navigator route-planning software. There are two configurations: The N500 and the N520. The N500 has less memory (64MB as opposed to 128MB) and lacks Wi-Fi, while both models lack Bluetooth. We tested the fully featured Pocket LOOX N520.

Design

The Pocket LOOX N520 resembles its predecessor in the LOOX range, the 720, although overall the N520 is a shade smaller and lighter at 11.6cm by 7.1cm by 1.4cm and 160g. The slate grey and silver colouring of the earlier model remains intact, as does the quartet of application shortcut buttons -- a pair on either side of the navigation button.

The navigation button sits proud of its neighbours and feels comfortable to use. The shortcut buttons to its left take you to the calendar and contacts applications; the right-hand buttons go to the Windows Mobile today screen and launch the Navigon software. As usual, you can configure these buttons to launch other applications if you prefer, with separate settings available for long and short presses. When the Pocket LOOX N520 is powered up, the icons on these buttons are pleasingly underlit in blue.

The right edge of the N520 is devoid of any connectors or buttons, while the left edge houses the infrared port, microphone and one button. A short press on this button starts the built-in voice notes software, while a longer press fires up FSC SpeedMenu, a software add-on provided by Fujutsu Siemens (of which more later).

The top of the N520 houses an SD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack and the bay for the stylus, which is long but not particularly well weighted. At bottom is the reset hole and connector for docking and mains power. The 1,200mAh Li-ion battery is removable.
