Ultra-Rugged Military Standard Mobile PDA Now ATEX Certified

TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 21, 2010 - Getac UK has announced the upgrade of its ultra-rugged PS236 handheld
Windows Mobile PDA, with full accreditation to ATEX (category 3 / zone 2)
meaning that the device can be used safely in environments with an explosive
atmosphere.

"The Getac PS236 is the fastest device of its kind at 806mhz and still
the only handheld that is IP67 rated and a phone," explains Peter Molyneux,
Business Development Director of Getac in the UK. "This upgrade extends the
market for the device from military and general field based operations to now
include the gas, oil and chemical industries."

In addition to IP67 certification, which gives a guaranteed ingress
protection against dust and allows the unit to be waterproof to 1 metre, the
PS236 has full MIL-STD-810G certification, which is the generally accepted
standard of military ruggedisation and compliance for mobile computers and
equipment.

The ultra-rugged Windows Mobile PDA comes with integrated GPS, altimeter,
an auto-focus 3-megapixel camera, e-compass, hi-res display for all sorts of
GIS surveying and other GPS/mapping-based applications.

Two versions are available — one with a numerical keypad and the other
with a PDA keypad — and both be used as phones. It also offers great
connectivity including full WPAN, WLAN and WWAN to offer a well-balanced
combination of advanced technology, targeted professional GIS features and
pocket PC convenience.

Running Windows Mobile 6.1, the device offers varied data capture and
real-time data transfer. With 4GB of Flash Memory, expandable up to 20GB
(with 16GB SDHC), the PS236 is ideal for all sorts of GPS, GIS and mapping
applications even in the most extreme environmental conditions. The sunlight
readable, super-sharp 3.5-inch touch display comes with both anti-glare and
anti-reflective capabilities to deliver the performance needed out in the
field.

"Our customers work in some of the most extreme environments and need a
tough communications tool that can handle severe climate changes and perform
flawlessly," explains Molyneux.

The PS236 has an operating temperature range of -10 degrees Celsius to 60
degrees Celsius and the Smart Battery conveys the precise capacity at
different temperatures. With 10 hours GPS working time, 6 hours cell phone
and 4 hours data transferring time, the PS236 also comes with a vehicle
charger and desktop docking options.

Weighing just 575 grams (with 3G module), the 178 x 89 x 30mm device is
easy to carry and available in "Utility Yellow" which is easy to find.

"With the addition of ATEX certification, the Getac PS236 offers users
fast, reliable, and consistently accurate real-time communications solutions
which are critical to anyone working out in the field," concludes Molyneux.
