PDAs
http://www.electric-fuel.com/InstantPowerCharger/index.shtml
March 28, 2001 - Electric Fuel Corporation (Nasdaq: EFCX) today announced
that its latest INSTANT POWER(TM) Chargers for PDAs will be shipped early in
the second quarter of 2001.
The new product lineup includes a charger for Palm V handheld computers that
delivers up to 8 full charges. Other new models include chargers for Compaq
iPAQ Pocket PCs, Handspring Prism and Visor Phone models, and Novatel
Minstrel V wireless modems. Chargers for HP Jornada and Casio Cassiopeia
models will be available soon.
INSTANT POWER Chargers allows users to power their PDAs without the need of
an electrical outlet -- which is especially important when on the move --
and to simultaneously keep working while charging even if their battery is
dead. The pocket-sized charger weighs less than three ounces and plugs
directly into the PDA, allowing it to be used anywhere an electrical outlet
is not readily available. The INSTANT POWER Chargers provide up to three
charges for cellphones.
Electric Fuel recently spotlighted its new product line at the CTIA Wireless
Expo in Las Vegas, and at CeBIT 2001 in Hannover.
The revolutionary INSTANT POWER Charger product line also includes models
for cellphones from Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Ericsson, Panasonic, Siemens
and Philips, including Internet-enabled models; other models are under
development.
The Company also announced pricing for the INSTANT POWER Charger line. A
complete INSTANT POWER charger kit, including reusable SmartCord, is priced
at $19.95 (MSRP); INSTANT POWER Cartridges are priced at only $9.95 (MSRP).
