Microsoft's
Handheld PC 2000 Available for the Husky Fex21
 August
17, 2002 – The Husky Fex21 is now available with the full retail
version of Microsoft Handheld PC 2000 (HPC 2000) operating system. This
positions the Fex21 as the first rugged handheld
computer to include an integrated Windows 2000 Terminal Services Client
and updated web browser, giving enterprise customers access to
full-function desktop applications in a wireless-ready mobile device.
HPC 2000 is based on
the Microsoft Windows CE 3.0 core operating system. This new operating
system introduces a thin client application for Windows 2000 Terminal
Services, a Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.0 compatible browser with
increased support for HTML 4.0 and animated graphics, a Windows Media™
Player for digital music, and enhanced encryption and security features.
The advantage of the full retail version is that it includes the Pocket
versions of the Microsoft Office Suite including Excel, Word, PowerPoint,
and Access. The availability of these familiar applications greatly
increases the usability of the Fex21 and provides mobile users with even
greater functionality while on the move.
Handheld PC 2000
features include the following:
- Productivity
tools, including Pocket Outlook® applications such as
e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks as well as Pocket versions of
Office applications like Word, Excel, PowerPoint®
and Access
- An
integrated client for Windows 2000 Terminal Services that gives users
access to their full-function desktop applications over wired and
wireless connections
- An
Internet Explorer 4.0-compatible browser with support for HTML 4.0,
XML and XSL, DHTML, Jscript® development software and GIF
animation, frames, cookies, SSL, and certificates
- Windows
Media Player for Handheld PC, which supports both the Windows Media
and MP3 digital audio file formats, and enables users to easily
transfer their personal music collection from their Windows-based PC
with the new Windows Media Player 7
- Support
for the latest software development tools from Microsoft, eMbedded
Visual Tools 3.0 2002 Edition, which delivers a complete desktop
development environment for creating applications and system
components for the Husky Fex21
The option to upgrade existing Husky Fex21's to HPC
2000 is available. Since
this requires hardware
modifications to the basic design of the Fex21, upgrades must be returned
for service.
This upgrade option is
only available for the 129MHz version of the Husky Fex21.
Details can be obtained by contacting Handheld Systems.
