The new PDA delivers public safety users pocket-sized access to essential two-way data applications whilst on the move. The TETRA PDA is based on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, and comes with 128MB SDRAM and 64MB flash memory. Memory can be expanded with SD memory cards. Options available include Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS and camera, allowing pictures to be circulated quickly from the PDA. The device measures 145mm (L) x 83mm (W) x 35-50mm (H) and weighs less than 500 grams. The PDA has been developed to meet the rugged requirements of public safety organisations that need secure access to real-time information on the move. Users can access person and vehicle records, report crimes and accidents, and issue tickets via the PDA's application suite."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20051207-TETRA.jpg" /><br /><br />A few days ago, Motorola announced the TETRA PDA with little information on specifications. Now Geekzone is reporting that this device is designed to run Windows Mobile 5.0 and will feature multiple connectivity options such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. It should start shipping in the third quarter of 2006.
