LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 2000 APR 7 (NB) -- By Sherman Fridman, Newsbytes. Telefon AB LM Ericsson [NASDAQ:ERICY] unveiled Web-enabled wireless devices and accessories at Spring Internet World 2000. There were Web-enabled handsets, including WAP (wireless application protocol) and Bluetooth- enabled phones, as well as a variety of add-on devices.
Fitting comfortably in the palm of the hand, and about the same size, Ericsson's model A2218z has an array of advanced features with what the company says is the best standard battery performance in the mobile phone industry.
The A2218z is said to work like a PDA (personal digital assistant), with a calendar, reminder, and to-do features for personal information management. It also features voice- activated dialing and a display, which despite the small size of the handset, is the largest screen available on an Ericsson mobile phone in the United States.
Anticipating the advent of third generation (3G) wireless telephone services, Ericsson's model A1228c is the company's first CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) handset.
The A1228c has a WAP micro-browser that delivers real-time access to e-mail and specialized mobile Internet content, such as news, stock quotes, airline schedules, sports scores, weather, and traffic reports. The handset also supports two-way short messaging services that offer quick and direct text communications.
