PocketSurfer World's Fastest Handheld
16 February 2007 by axxxr "DataWind", a leading provider of wireless web access products and services, today unveiled the new version of PocketSurfer, the World's fastest handheld Internet device.  PocketSurfer is an ultra thin, sleek mobile device, the first of its kind to actually deliver the full power and original graphic intensity of the desktop web, rapidly and wirelessly - to the palm of your hand. PocketSurfer "just works" - no more caveats restricting your productivity on any web site or application. With PocketSurfer, mobile users can surf the Internet anytime, anyplace and enjoy the same rich media graphics and browser functionality of the desktop experience! This device is going to revolutionize the way we work, play communicate and fully leverage the web wirelessly. PocketSurfer downloads web pages at the speedy rate of 7 - 9 seconds per page, the fastest way to view the web on any cellular network. PocketSurfer is the only handheld Internet device in its size category able to render web pages in their original layout, with full graphic functionality. The second version of this groundbreaking device improves upon the original PocketSurfer in a number of ways; firstly the form factor has been improved for a thinner, sleeker device that meets the design esthetic of today's modern cell phones and devices, and second, it now has a backlight on the full QWERTY keyboard from the original model. Most importantly the PocketSurfer now has a fully-integrated cellular radio-modem to deliver those blistering speeds independently, wherever the user happens to be. Today on the main stage at the Canadian Pavilion at 3GSM, DataWind CEO Suneet S. Tuli presented the new PocketSurfer 2 to an audience of international press and analysts. Mr. Tuli then challenged the audience to see if anyone's handheld device or PDA could download web pages faster than PocketSurfer - anyone that managed to beat PocketSurfer would have received a free device. However, as expected, PocketSurfer held strong with its claim of the fastest speed of a handheld Internet device! Mr. Tuli also spoke about the forthcoming UK launch of Pocket Surfer this spring, which will feature the unprecedented offer of FREE wireless internet service included with every PocketSurfer, sold in the UK. This valuable offer, especially when the UK has yet to see a value-for-money unlimited data plan, is made possible by DataWind's high-speed delivery platform that can reduce pages up to 1/30th of their original size, reducing network load and therefore costs. Apart from the end user perspective, PocketSurfer™ also offers mobile operators, for the very first time, the ability to increase and earn new ARPU without charging subscriber fees. Conventionally it is the other way around. On the launch of PocketSurfer Version 2 in Barcelona, Suneet S. Tuli, CEO of DataWind, commented: "With PocketSurfer, mobile users can surf the Internet anytime, anyplace and enjoy the same rich media graphics and browser functionality of the desktop experience! This device is going to revolutionize the way we work, play communicate and fully leverage the web wirelessly."

When the E90 is launched and using HSDPA i am sure this will be much faster. Also will there unlimited data actually mean unlimited all will like all the others will it be limited by a fair usage policy? and has he not heard of T-Mobile's Web N Walk and 3's Xseries Data packages. Call me cynical but i will wait to see this in action before believing all its claims as IMO many of the Nokia HSPDA devices running the Safari full HTML browser are going to deliver web pages much faster than this device is capable of and in the case of the E90 on a much better screen and also with a full qwerty keyboard.

On 16 Feb 16:49 sensibleone wrote I'm not sure why you say it's an 'awesome phone'. I can't see anything in the description that refers to its phone capabilities, indeed, it may not even be a phone at all. On 16 Feb 16:12 BasfromUtreggg wrote awesome phone |
