EP10 - The new Psion 'shooting star'
In common with the Omnii XT10, the new, cost-effective and robust Psion EP10 was developed on the principles of Open Source Mobility (OSM). Thanks to its compact design, device can be used anywhere where people have mobile access to data, such as courier drivers, service technicians or agents.
 
Equipped with a OMAP3 processor from Texas Instruments, the robust EP10 offers a 3.7 inch display as well as mobile communication standards, such as 3G, CDMA, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and GSM HSPA +. The Psion EP10 is a strategic extension of the company's range of mobile business devices, with the extensive capabilities of high-end PDAs, and also extreme robustness and cost effectiveness. In addition, the new EP10 is equipped with interactive sensors, such as light, motion and acceleration sensors as well as a digital compass.

"We're delighted with the EP10 commitment from Warok GmbH as well as the trust placed in Psion," added Jrgen Heim, Managing Director of Psion Germany. "This proves once again that with our development strategy of open innovation and the resulting products, such as the Omnii XT10 and EP10, we're really changing the market."
