Fragile is for flowers. Poets. Figurines.

Not mobile professionals.

Let’s face it. No mobile professional wants to deal with numerous communication devices — each one more fragile than the next. That’s why Motorola designed the durable, all-in-one MC35 Enterprise Digital Assistant. Now you can combine the voice and data capabilities your business needs with the backend connectivity you want — all in a small, lightweight form factor that allows your people to make calls, send and receive email, connect to the Web, read bar codes and even get directions via GPS. Best of all, the MC35 is durable enough to handle all-day, everyday use in a variety of settings. It’s just another way Motorola puts Seamless Mobility in the palm of your hand. HELLOMOTO™.

Now available on the new AT&T.

Tip: Activate Internet Explorer "High Resolution" mode for better viewing

If your touch screen device has a VGA display and is running Windows Mobile 6 Professional, you can use High Resolution mode in Internet Explorer for a better viewing experience. This increases the amount of Web content you can see on your screen by compacting the text, graphics, and pictures while still maintaining (if not improving) clarity. To do this, open Internet Explorer Mobile and select Menu >View >Use High Resolution.

Article: GPS on Windows Mobile

This article reviews the top GPS navigation programs developed for Windows Mobile devices. To take full advantage of this software, your device must be equipped with a GPS receiver. If your Windows Mobile device does not have a GPS receiver built into it, you can purchase one as an accessory. Some of these receivers are described in our Accessory Guide and also in the previous (October '07) issue, in an article titled "GPS Hardware and Accessories."
