Glofiish X500 Delivers GPS and Wi-Fi All-in-One. E-TEN Information Systems will be rebranded as Glofiish together with a new pocket pc phone X500. Highlights of the announcement include an all new case design that is considerably thinner than current products; upgraded communications with support for faster protocols and standards; and the ability to combine both GPS and Wi-Fi capabilities in a single device.

For their next release E-TEN designers have developed a new case which is only 15.5mm thick. Combined with the company's internal antenna design, the case promises to make the glofiish X500 one of the most portable, pocket-friendly devices available with both WiFi & GPS built in. Improved ergonomics have also been a focus and the new design is optimized of Windows Mobile 5.0. The case features 2 quick application buttons that offer one-thumb navigation of Pocket PC applications, 2 dedicated phone function buttons, and several user-configurable softkeys that give each individual the ability to customize and configure their device to best suit their needs.

While previous E-TEN Pocket PC Phones featured GPRS allowing users to access the Internet, send and receive emails, and access other data services wirelessly, the glofiish X500 goes even further adding support for the faster EDGE protocol. E-TEN has also improved Wi-Fi capabilities, offering dual-standard IEEE 802.11b/g for increased bandwidth and improved security.

For many the ideal mobile device would combine phone and GPRS capabilities for voice and data on the move; Wi-Fi for high-speed Internet and LAN connectivity; and GPS satellite communications for easy navigation and travel. The glofiish X500 delivers all these functions as well as Bluetooth 2.0, multimedia video and audio capabilities, and a 2 mega-pixel camera and (thanks to a high-performance 400MHz processor) even allows users to access multiple features or applications simultaneously making it the ultimate all-in-one device for both businesses and consumers.
