Audiovox and AT&T Wireless today officially announced the rumoured PPC 4100, a WAN handheld powered by the lengthily-named Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC Phone Edition platform. To be available in June 2004 and showcased for the first time today at Microsoft’s Tech Ed conference in San Diego, California, the GSM-based PPC 4100 will join Audiovox’ second-generation CDMA WAN handheld, the Audiovox PPC 5050.
A tri-band GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz device with GPRS capabilities, the Audiovox PPC 4100 will be available through AT&T Wireless, apparently replacing the now-discontinued Siemens SX56 – a device much similar to the PPC 4100, albeit it with poorer specifications and running the 2002 edition of the Pocket PC Phone Edition platform. Currently, AT&T Wireless offers several BlackBerry handhelds and the Treo 600 by palmOne in the WAN handheld category.
