Wearable Palm Kit Debuts at PC Expo

June 26 /PRNewswire/ - Matias Corporation debuted its Wearable Kit for Palm handheld computers today, in the Designed for Palm Handhelds Pavilion at TECHXNY/PC Expo in New York The Matias Wearable Kit comes with everything you need to turn a Palm handheld computer into a wearable computer, at a fraction of the cost of an industrial wearable PC. The kit includes: a Wearable Half Keyboard, all necessary cables, wrist straps, and software.

"With a Wearable Half Keyboard attached to a Palm handheld, you can type fast enough to write long detailed reports, right on the scene. You don't need a desk. You can be standing anywhere and just type away. When you get back to the office, just synchronize the Palm handheld to your computer and your work is done," said Vesna Vojnic, Marketing Manager for Matias.

For applications ranging from collecting field data to writing on-the-scene reports, nothing is faster than a Wearable Half Keyboard attached to a Palm handheld. Prospective uses and users include: field workers, surveyors, Police forces, insurance adjusters, census takers, enumeration, inventory control, etc.

The Half Keyboard's patented skill transfer design allows users to touch type with one hand, using their existing skills, at speeds almost as fast as with both hands (up to 88% of normal typing rates).

"Ultra-portable and comparatively inexpensive, Palm handhelds are ideal for wearable applications. They offer enough computing power to do most data collection jobs and the huge software and developer base is a real plus," added Vojnic.

The Matias Wearable Kit is available now and retails for US$299. A free software demo of the Half Keyboard technology can be downloaded from: http://halfkeyboard.com
