NEW DELHI: VIA Technologies Inc., innovator and developer of silicon chip

technologies and PC platform solutions, has demonstrated its new VIA Tablet

Personal Computer design, a device which bridges the gap between PC and norepad

at the Microsoft Tablet PC ongoing Technology Exchange Week New York (TechXNY)

show.



The VIA Tablet PC design is an attractive slate-style ultra portable PC,
combining an innovative 'digital ink' system with a 10.4" electro-magnetic

digitizer portrait screen to form the ultimate digital notepad, with universal

applications in business and the home.






The Tablet PC is less than one inch thick and weighs just over one kilogram. The
VIA Tablet PC design is considerably lighter and less bulky than a conventional

laptop, it supports the full functionality of Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC

Edition as well as a full range of cutting edge connectivity features with

wireless support.






The VIA Tablet PC design utilizes a rich array of VIA's industry leading low
power technologies, including a choice of the highly acclaimed VIA C3 processors

as well as the high performance VIA Apollo Pro266T DDR SDRAM chipset. This not

only ensures longer battery life and quieter operation, but also reduces system

cost and enhances compatibility and reliability.






"We are proud to be launching the VIA Tablet PC design," commented
Richard Brown, Director of International Marketing at VIA Technologies, Inc.

"The Tablet PC represents a very exciting new market segment with

exceptional long term growth potential. We believe that working together with

Microsoft our Tablet PC will bring the best out of the new Windows Tablet PC

Edition and drive the market trend towards this new form factor."






The VIA Tablet PC recently claimed the prestigious ‘Best of Computex’ title
during the Computex Taipei 2002 show in early June, winning the IA category for

its innovative design and high level of technology integration. The VIA Tablet

PC was particularly praised for its product and design excellence that enables

"an entirely new experience" for users.
