AUSTIN, Texas - August 11, 2003 - Tablet PC maker Motion Computing today announced three distribution agreements that position the company to sell its full line of award-winning tablet PCs and peripherals to federal government users via the GSA contract schedule and the NIH ECS III contract.
The non-exclusive agreements are with two established government resellers, GovConnection Inc. and MicroWarehouse, and with Dell Inc., which is the largest provider of PCs under the GSA schedule.
"These sales partnerships are significant because they quickly and easily make available to federal government users the ultramobility and productivity benefits of a true slate tablet PC," said Motion CEO Scott Eckert.
"As a top-three slate tablet PC maker, Motion Computing extends GovConnection's reach into a new product category which strengthens our competitiveness in the government market," said Gary Sorkin, president of GovConnection.
Motion has won acclaim for its innovative 12.1-inch display and three-pound product design, and is at the forefront of second-generation tablet PC development. The company delivered the first slate models based on Intel Centrino mobile technology and has developed patent-pending accessories such as its space-saving hardtop keyboard.
