Hand Held Products™ Launches Dolphin® 7600 Mobile Computer
Mobile computer sets a new standard for combining small size and affordability in a full-featured terminal
November 15, 2006 – Hand Held Products, Inc., a leader in image-based data collection systems for mobile applications, today announced the latest mobile computer in its Dolphin 7000 series – the Dolphin® 7600.
The Dolphin 7600 is the first mobile computer to provide the functionality and versatility of a true industrial-grade mobile computing device packaged in a small, ergonomic, reliable and affordable solution. Featuring Adaptus™ Imaging Technology 5.0, the 7600 has the ability to read any linear or 2D barcode and capture digital images – empowering users to capture and manage more data than ever before.
“Hand Held Products’ Dolphin 7600 addresses a growing need for affordable, entry-class rugged mobile computers without having to compromise on performance, features and functionality,” said David Krebs, Director of Mobile and Wireless at Venture Development Corporation (VDC).
Innovative design features of the Dolphin 7600 include:
· An integrated finger saddle that mirrors the natural curves of the hand, creating an effortless grip for easy, one-handed operation
· An angled barcode scanner designed to limit the amount of hand and wrist movement required to scan barcodes
· A strategic weight distribution that naturally balances the device in the user’s hand without additional gripping or stress
“The Dolphin 7600 truly represents a next step in mobile computing technology. It blends the advanced data collection, communication and computing architecture - that until now were only found in full-size industrial devices - with a smaller, more lightweight and ergonomic design,” said Kevin Ahearn, VP/GM, Mobile & Wireless SBU, Hand Held Products. “We spent an extraordinary amount of time on understanding how users will interact with the device, enabling us to deliver an end product that we feel is second to none in terms of its intuitiveness and usability.”
Designed for the user that is constantly on move, the Dolphin 7600 combines the versatility of 802.11b/g and Bluetooth® wireless communication, keeping workers connected to mission-critical information throughout the enterprise. Advanced Full-Shift Power Management enables the 7600 to endure bar code reading and batch applications for an entire work-shift, delivering uninterrupted data processing and enhanced worker productivity while significantly reducing battery replacement costs.
The Dolphin 7600 is ideal for light-industrial applications in retail, parcel delivery, postal, route accounting, healthcare, field services and warehousing. For more information, contact Hand Held Products at 1-800-582-4263 or visit www.dolphin7600.com.
