ScanSource Europe Offers New Growth Opportunities with the New Socket Mobile Handheld Computer, the SoMo 650

The new Socket SoMo 650 is built to address the market that exists between consumer-oriented PDAs and heavy duty industrial devices.

The sleek, durable device uses a touch screen and is based on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system to ensure the highest level of mobile application compatibility and gives workers a familiar computing environment. Its flexible design enables ease of customisation and integration with Socket Mobile and third party peripherals and information systems extending the lifecycle of the product and reducing total cost of ownership. Socket has also launched a new extended, multi-year service warranty on the device as well as on the Cordless Hand Scanner (CHS) and the Cordless Ring Scanner (CRS).

Mobile computing systems available today do not meet the mobility needs of small- to medium-sized companies or many business units within larger enterprises, said Kevin Mills, president and chief executive officer of Socket Mobile. Currently companies need to choose between devices that are often too costly and over featured, or inexpensive and under featured, which results in mobility solutions being overly difficult to justify and deploy. The SoMo 650 is designed to change all of that, since its designed and developed for the currently underserved business mobility market.

The SoMo 650 is ideal for end users seeking cost effective mobile computing solutions to deliver applications for inventory control, sales force automation, patient tracking, asset management and merchandising. Resellers primary focus should be on the healthcare, automotive, life sciences and retail markets in which workers have a need for efficient data collection, real- time information management and applications in the field.

ScanSource Europe has SoMo 650 units in stock now and available to ship to resellers across Europe. For resellers who need access to the SoMo 650 quickly, ScanSource Europe can arrange blind shipments and drop shipments directly to end user customers.
