Intel® XScale

TM

microarchitecture

Users of the new generation of highly scalable, integrated microprocessors will enjoy high-performance processing
functions, such as voice and secure data transmission on enterprise infrastructure equipment. The processor offers high
performance for Pocket LOOX for processing hungry applications such as streaming audio and video. The Intel XScale
technology pushes RISC performance to new heights, allowing complex data to be processed over both the wired and
wireless Internet. The technology's low power consumption enables long battery life for wireless and handheld
multimedia devices, and allows for increased device density in Internet infrastructure applications through reduced
thermal constraints.
The Intel® XScale™ technology delivers key advantages for a wide range of market segments from battery-powered,
wireless and handheld applications such as digital phones and personal digital assistants to such Internet infrastructure
applications as network processors and intelligent I/O processors. Fully compliant with the ARM* v.5TE instruction set,
this new technology provides a full-featured, cost-effective, low-power solution with support for both 16-bit Thumb*
instructions and integrated digital signal processor (DSP) instructions.
The Intel® XScale™ technology will break new ground in the devices that expand the future of the Internet.

Communication

It is the availability of new wireless communication technologies that will bring new functionality to the PDA market. With
the introduction of GPRS, higher speeds than ever before are possible, opening up not only fast E-mail transfer and fast
web browsing, but even streaming video and other multimedia applications.

With the integrated Bluetooth

TM

module the communication to mobile phones, printers, computers and other devices with

Bluetooth

TM

technology can be established in an easy manner. Surfing the Internet or connecting to the company net is

practicable with Bluetooth, WLAN and other possibilities. Synchronization of Pocket LOOX with the desktop system can
be done also over Bluetooth as well as over USB, serial cable or IrDA.

The Pocket LOOX is the perfect device for creating, sending and receiving E-mails while on the move. It offers you a lot
of possibilities without carrying heavy equipment with you or going through the hassle of connecting different devices.
With the use of the integrated Pocket Outlook, E-mails can also easily be managed and synchronized with the PC or
Notebook.

GPRS connectivity

(General Packet Radio Service)

A GSM/GPRS plug-on module will be available as an accessory from Q4/2002 onwards. It is a dual band 900/1800mHz,
GPRS ClassB/8, which allows wireless Internet access, using either the HTML standard, WAP or offers even full mobile
functionality with or without a headset.
GPRS is a packet based GSM-technology, whereby customers are only charged for the communication resources they
use. A major goal of GPRS is to provide fast and efficient end-to-end packet mode access to Internet network services.
GPRS makes it possible and cost-effective to remain constantly connected, as well as to send and receive data at much
higher speeds than current mobile phones.
Theoretical maximum speeds of up to 171.2 kilobits per second (kbps) are achievable with GPRS, using all eight
timeslots at the same time. This is about three times as fast as the data transmission speeds possible over today's fixed
telecommunications networks and ten times as fast as current Circuit Switched Data services on GSM networks.
By allowing information to be transmitted more quickly, immediately and efficiently across the mobile network, GPRS
may well be a relatively less costly mobile data service compared to SMS and Circuit Switched Data.
With the GPRS Class 8/B, the device can handle up to 4 timeslots downstream and one upstream. A, B or C stands for
the capability of having voice calls simultaneously to data calls. The Pocket LOOX has class B, meaning you cannot
make voice calls at the same time as data calls, but it will alert you during the data call that you have an incoming voice
call. “A” means voice and data can be mixed and C means not even an alert can be given.
