AUSTIN, Texas, March 17, 2003 - Motion Computing today announced that new buyers of its award-winning, Wi-Fi-enabled M1200 Tablet PC family are eligible to receive 2,000 free minutes of T-Mobile HotSpotsm high-speed wireless Internet service thanks to a marketing relationship with T Mobile USA. T-Mobile HotSpot provides untethered, broadband access to the Internet and corporate networks.
With over 2,200 "hotspots" in airports, bookstores and coffee shops, T-Mobile operates the largest carrier owned Wi-Fi (802.11) network in the U.S. Backed by T-1 connections, customers with a wireless enabled notebook, pocket PC or Tablet PC can check e-mail, surf the Web, watch streaming video or download multimedia presentations in the comfort of participating Starbucks locations and other T-Mobile locations via a fast, reliable standards-based wireless Internet connection.
Motion Computing, a Tablet PC market leader and innovator in ultramobile computing and wireless connectivity, chose to partner with T-Mobile because of the breadth, ease of use and reliability of the T-Mobile HotSpotsm service, according to Kim Kasee, Motion's vice president of marketing.
"When you combine the convenience of broadband, wireless connectivity with the 12.1-inch display and the sleek clipboard design of the M1200, you truly have a product that fits your work style," Kasee said. "With our marketing relationship with T-Mobile, we believe our customers - which range from healthcare professionals and field sales people to government workers and college students - will quickly appreciate the convenience, reliability and ease of using the M1200 with T-Mobile HotSpot service to stay connected while they're on the go."
"Users of an ultramobile system like the Motion M1200 Tablet PC are a perfect fit for our network services," said Laurie Stixrood, executive director and general manager of T-Mobile's HotSpot organization. "We're excited about working together to provide this ultimate solution for mobile professionals."
Customers have 30 days from sign-up to use the 2,000 free minutes with purchase of one of the new M1200 Tablet PC's. The promotion is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2003.
