This time, there were some interesting mobile products including reference exhibits, so I will summarize them here.
Sharp stood out. After all, the massive display of powerful Mebius notebooks was flooded with demos of the just-announced Color Zaurus. In particular, Color Zaurus seemed to have received a demonstration using the digital camera function, and the explanation staff was also busy responding to questions and people coming one after another. The picture is just a Zaurus type display prepared on the stage, and of course the real thing is not so big.
Matsushita Electric exhibited a mobile tool called “S1” and “S10” that looked like an electronic organizer. It seems that it is not a product for the general public like Zaurus, but a product mainly for system sales by insurance companies. The S10 has a larger liquid crystal than the S1. It had a modem unit and was demonstrated by connecting via the PHS earphone terminal. This form also explains, “At present, this is the only one.” S1 weighs 220g and the PC slot supports Type2. It also supports IrDA. By the way, I seem to have lost my business card in this place …
Sanyo also exhibited a new PHS (with a vibrator), but the ones that caught my interest were all reference exhibits. One is that the image data is transmitted as it is by connecting to the PHS from the serial port of the digital camera via the adapter. Unfortunately there was no demonstration. Another reference exhibit is a communication device such as a set with an electronic organizer that is based on PHS and has a liquid crystal display that allows handwriting. In addition to sending handwritten memos written on the spot to faxes, it also receives and displays fax data. The liquid crystal is 640×240 and there is no backlight. It has an RS232C port and uses it to output to a printer. Of course, it can also be used as a landline phone.
