NEW YORK, March 12, 2003 - Motion Computing today disclosed plans to extend its family of award-winning Tablet PC products with Intel Centrino mobile technology, the first array of chips developed specifically for breakthrough mobile computing performance and wireless communications.
An innovator in ultramobile computing and wireless connectivity, Motion Computing currently markets the Motion M1200 Tablet PC designed around mobile Intel Pentium® III processors running at 866MHz and 933MHz.
