SCKT - has some potential.. Monday October 11, 9:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Socket Plugs Into Compaq's New Aero 1530 Ultra-thin Palm-size PC "Battery Friendly" Cards Add Ethernet, Wireless Internet Access and Bar Code Scanning to the World's Thinnest Windows CE-based Palm-size PC NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 1999-- Socket Communications Inc. (OTC: Bulletin Board SCKT and SCKTW; Pacific Stock Exchange SOK) today announced that the Socket© Battery Friendly(TM) family of low-power plug-in cards support the Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ - news) Aero 1530, the thinnest Palm-size PC available powered by the Microsoft's Windows CE operating system. Although small enough to fit easily into a shirt or jacket pocket, the Aero 1530's Type I CompactFlash CF+ slot offers powerful expansion capabilities that allow the device to be used as more than just a personal information manager. Socket offers a variety of energy-efficient Type I CompactFlash CF+ plug-in cards that preserve the Aero 1530's long battery life while supporting features such as Ethernet connectivity, wireless Internet access, and bar code scanning. For in-office use, Socket's Low Power Ethernet Cards offer fast data synchronization between an Aero 1530 and a desktop PC located anywhere on a local area network, allowing users to keep their portable information current without being tied to their desks. For out-of-office use, Socket's Digital Phone Card makes it possible for the Aero 1530 to connect to a data-capable cellular phone for sending and receiving e-mail, browsing the web, and synchronizing data with a corporate network -- all wirelessly. For vertical applications, Socket offers the Bar Code Wand Card, an ultra low-power bar code scanning system that combines a CompactFlash CF+ card with a Welch Allyn bar code scanner wand for mobile data collection. All Socket's CompactFlash cards can be used in the CompactFlash CF+ slots of the Compaq C-Series 2010C color Handheld PC, Aero 2100 color Palm-size PC and Aero 8000 Handheld PC Pro. They can also be mounted in inexpensive adapters and used in the PC Card slots of Compaq's Armada portable PCs as well as the Aero 8000. ''Socket's Battery Friendly technology is a great fit for the Aero 1530,' said Ben Williams, Director of Displays & Peripherals Marketing, Compaq North America. ''Socket's plug-in cards add a broad range of capability without sacrificing the Aero 1530's long battery life, which is one of its key features. Socket's cards demonstrate that it's possible to be thin as well as powerful.' ''The Aero 1530 has taken Windows CE computing to a new level of portability and affordability,' said Peter Phillips, director of product marketing for Socket Communications. ''We are excited about supporting this innovative product and we expect to introduce additional plug-in cards in the near future that will take full advantage of the Aero 1530's small size and long battery life.'
