Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 16, 2003 FrogPadä Inc., an innovator in data entry methods for mobile and portable communication devices, announced today at MobileFocus/Comdex the development of the Bluetoothä FrogPadä, in a strategic partnership with Gennum Corporation, a leading provider of integrated circuits and system solutions for a variety of specialized applications.
The USB version of FrogPadä is a portable one-handed keyboard that has an ergonomic layout designed around the 15 most-used letters in the English alphabet. FrogPadä, in a very practical and compact 3" x 5" size, is the only fully functional and portable keyboard with low profile, full-sized keys that allow fast, easy and accessible data entry. Now, with Gennums Bluetoothä solution built into FrogPadä, connections to Bluetoothä devices can be accomplished without wires.
The Bluetoothä FrogPadä can be used in numerous commercial and industrial applications where mobility and portability are critical elements. Some applications include Mobile Phones, PDAs, Tablets, Wearable PCs and GPS devices for the healthcare, educational, and pharmaceutical and insurance markets, to name a few. In addition, there will be greater ease of use of FrogPadä as the small and compact package along with no wires or cables will allow it to be used in areas where space is at a premium. By 2005, Accenture estimates the convergence of embedded wireless devices on the Internet to be in the range of 1.7 billion globally. FrogPadTM, Inc. estimates that 50% will require a portable, compact, fully-functional data entry device. A Bluetoothä FrogPadä is the answer.
Clearly with Gennums Bluetoothä solution embedded into FrogPadä, we are the simplest common denominator for any global application," said Linda Marroquin, FrogPadä, Inc.s CEO and President. A Bluetoothä FrogPadä is the holy grail as a portable human computer interface and is the horizontal solution for all types of data systems."
Bluetoothä technology is rapidly becoming the short range wireless standard by which devices are connected to each other," said Gora Ganguli, VP & GM, HIP. We are delighted to be working with FrogPadä to bring Bluetoothä compatibility to this innovative product."
