What enhancements have been made to the LS800 Tablet
PC compared to previous products? The LS800 is the first full-function ultra-portable
Tablet PC:
Design: The sleek industrial design is the smallest and lightest
Tablet PC available that is capable of running the Microsoft
Windows XP Tablet Edition operating system.
Performance: Upwards of 20% faster than the M1400, the LS800
design is based on Intel’s Sonoma system architecture,
including the latest Intel Mobile Pentium M low-voltage processor
or the latest Mobile Intel Celeron M ultra-low-voltage processor,
the latest 915GMS Express Chipset, and the latest 400MHz DDRII
memory.
Battery Life: The LS800 provides approximately three hours
of battery life using state-of-the-art Lithium Ion Battery
technology. The standard battery pack for the LS800 is very
compact, making it easy to carry a spare battery for users
that require extended operation away from a power outlet.
Warm-swap capability allows your customer to change batteries
in seconds without the need to re-boot the system.
Security: In addition to an integrated Fingerprint Reader,
the LS800 offers an integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
TPM is an actual hardware chip on the Tablet PC used to authenticate
the device and strengthen existing security. To make security
even easier to implement, the Motion Dashboard now includes
easy links to set-up instructions for using the Softex OmniPass
Fingerprint Reader and Infineon TPM security applications.
Reliability: Motion’s inherently durable “pure
slate” design is now even lighter due to the sturdy
carbon fiber product housing. Top off the absence of moving
parts such as an embedded keyboard, a rotating hinge, or an
LCD housing latch (typical mechanical risk points on non-slate
devices) with the more reliable 1.8” HDD selected to
reduce the risk of shock induced failures by half, and the
LS800 is equipped to handle the rigors of even the toughest
environments.
Speak Anywhere™: The LS800 continues to incorporate
Motion’s own Speak Anywhere™ technology. Dual
directional microphones the ability to configure the range
of audio acceptance, suppress background noise, and provide
acoustic echo cancellation.
Connectivity: In addition to an integrated 802.11 connection
and integrated Bluetooth which is provided at no additional
cost, the LS800 also offers Ethernet support as well as an
IrDA port for connecting to a truly broad array of wireless
networks and peripheral devices.
Expansion: The LS800 includes a Secure Digital (SD) slot for
connecting a removable SD memory card.
Video out: The LS800 has a VGA port for connecting to external
monitors and digital projectors. The LS800 will support external
monitor/projector resolutions of up to 1600 X 1200 pixels.
Audio playback: The LS800 has an integrated speaker to support
multimedia sales presentations, training module delivery and
other types of audio-dependent media usage such as watching
movies or listening to music.
What are the dimensions and weight of the LS800? The LS800 is 8.94” x 6.69” x 0.87”
and weighs just 2.2 lbs (1KG), making it the smallest, lightest
full powered Tablet PC available. The LS800 can be stowed
in a purse, the outside pocket of a briefcase, or even a lab
coat pocket.
Using the LS800 Bump case, the Tablet is readily accessible
when needed, but also allows rapid transition to a “hands-free”
mode for mission critical operations.
What are the key underlying technologies designed
into the LS800? The LS800 Tablet PC incorporates leading-edge technologies
such as:
· Intel® Pentium® M Ultra Low Voltage Processor
753 (1.2 GHz), 2MB L2 cache, 400MHz FSB and the Intel®
915GMS chipset which features the Intel® Graphics Media
Accelerator 900, enabling up to 1.4X graphics performance
improvement over the Intel® 855GME chipset
· 400MHz DDRII Memory
· 8.4” SVGA display, an optional View Anywhere®
display
· WACOM digitizer - natural pen input using Motion’s
exclusive ergonomically-designed Digitizer Pen.
· 3 hard drive capacities to meet two tiers of storage
needs: a 60GB HDD, a 30GB HDD or a 20GB HDD. The 1.8”
hard-disk drive format not only contributes to the thinness
and light weight of the LS800, but also greatly increases
reliability by reducing the risk of shock-induced failures
– addressing an important durability requirement for
highly mobile users.
What processors are being used on the LS800 product
line? The LS800 uses Intel’s fastest Ultra Low Voltage
processor - Intel® Pentium® M Processor ULV 753 (1.2GHz)
What chipset is used on the LS800 product line? Mobile Intel® 915GMS Express Chipset.
What are the main differences between the 915GMS
Express Chipset used on the LS800 and the 855GME Chipset used
on the M1400 Tablet PC? The 915GMS chipset offers a vast improvement in video
performance (41% improvement in 3DMark score in one Intel
benchmark analysis) and is equipped to support Microsoft’s
Longhorn operating system when it launches in the future.
The 915GMS chipset was designed to support the new Sonoma
architecture and a higher-performance memory interface, while
the 855GME chipset was designed at the time that the previous-generation
Dothan CPU architecture was introduced. The newer 915GMS chipset
supports the new faster 400MHz DDRII memory available on the
LS800, while the older 855GME chipset supports the previous-generation
333MHz DDR memory.
The 915GMS chipset includes the Intel® GMA 900 Integrated
Graphics controller with 128MB of video RAM, whereas the 855GME
uses the Intel Direct AGP Integrated Graphics controller which
includes only 64MB of video RAM.
What is the difference between DDRI and DDRII memory? DDRII is the latest memory architecture that delivers
improved system performance, higher data bandwidths, lower
latency and better power consumption for mobile devices.
What is the maximum system memory (RAM) supported
by the LS800? The LS800 supports up to 1GB of RAM. The LS800 has
a single memory slot, so total system memory must reside in
a single memory module. The compact size of the LS800 makes
it difficult to access the memory slot outside of the manufacturing
factory. Customers should not attempt to change the memory
module as the warranty will be voided.
Which integrated graphics controller is used on the
LS800? Intel® GMA 900 graphics controller.
What is the maximum external monitor resolution supported
by the LS800? The LS800 supports up to 1600 X 1200 pixel external
monitor resolution.
What are the important security features on the LS800? The LS800 offers an integrated Fingerprint Reader
for secure user authentication, with the added benefit of
global password management. Furthermore, the LS800 offers
a new security feature – a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
1.1, which offers the following benefits:
· Actual hardware chip on Tablet
· Used to authenticate device and strengthen existing
security
· Hardware is tougher to infiltrate then software
· Adds personal secure drive
· Strengthens applications by protecting digital certificates
In addition, the system offers enhanced BIOS-level security
with pre-boot authentication, a universal lock slot for physical
asset protection, and a Motion Security Center software panel
that grants quick access to the Motion OmniPass software for
configuring the Fingerprint Reader and to the Infineon software
for configuring the TPM.
The Fingerprint Reader now has a scrolling capability
– what does that mean? While the 4-way directional control button on the
exterior of the system continues to allow users to move the
cursor up, down, left and right, the new scrolling capability
of the Fingerprint Reader allows users to run the pad of their
finger over the Fingerprint Reader either horizontally or
vertically to accomplish scrolling when a scrollbar is present
in a window. The Fingerprint Reader automatically switches
to scroll mode when a scrollbar is present and when the system
is not engaged in an authentication task.
Why did Motion add an IrDA port to the LS800? Since Bluetooth and IrDA are the preferred means
for synchronizing one’s Tablet PC with other devices,
or for connecting to peripherals such as printers, Motion
now offers both connectivity options on the LS800.
What is the data transfer rate on the IrDA port? Up to 4MBps.
What is the data transfer rate on the SD slot? Up to 10MBps.
Why does Motion no longer offer a 1394 Firewire port? The USB 2.0 ports on the LS800 offer similar bandwidth
to 1394 Firewire, and Motion’s external DVD/CD-RW drive
operates over USB 2.0 so Firewire is no longer a required
port for high-bandwidth connections to peripherals.
What is the Motion Accessory Port and what can I
use it for? The Motion Accessory Port is a special, powered USB
port found on the LS800 MobileDock. While all USB ports provide
power, the USB specification for power does not deliver enough
power for more power-hungry devices such as large hard disk
drives and DVD optical drives. The Motion Accessory Port combines
USB 2.0 connectivity with the additional power required to
power accessory devices.
Today, the Motion Accessory Port, combined with the Motion
Accessory Cable, can be used to power the Motion USB DVD/CD-RW
optical drive. With this configuration, external AC power
is not required for USB DVD/CD-RW optical drive for use on
airplanes or other environments that do not have access to
AC power.
What is the hard-disk drive offering on the LS800? Motion offers three hard drive capacities to meet
two tiers of storage needs: A 60GB HDD for storage-hungry
users, a 30GB HDD for users with less storage-intensive requirements,
and a 20GB HDD for users that require minimal storage. The
latest 1.8” hard-disk drive format not only contributes
to the light weight and smaller size of the LS800, but also
uses less power and greatly increases reliability by reducing
the risk of shock-induced failures – addressing an important
durability requirement for highly mobile users.
How does the LS800’s 1.8” hard-disk drive
compare to the earlier-generation 2.5” drives? In addition to lower power consumption and weight,
the most significant benefit of 1.8” drives to mobile
users is the improved shock resistance, both during operation
and non-operational transport. The 1.8” 30GB HDD delivers
all storage gigabytes on a single disk platter, which rotates
at 4200rpm, resulting in lower energy consumption in addition
to quiet operation. (Note: The 60GB HDD is dual-platter.)
To ensure high performance during data-intensive read and
write cycles, the built-in controller also includes a 2MB
data cache.
Which manufacturer supplies the product hard drives
to Motion? Hitachi and Toshiba are Motion’s suppliers
of choice for the LS800’s HDDs.
What is the battery life on the LS800 Tablet PC? The battery life with the Standard Battery is 2.5
to 3 hours, depending on applications and power management
settings.
Does the LS800 have an extended battery? Motion does not offer an extended battery for the
LS800 at this time. The LS800 does enable warm-swapping of
the standard battery which makes using a spare battery very
easy. Warm-swapping takes just seconds and spare batteries
are very portable.
How long does it take to charge the Standard Battery?
The Standard Battery charges to 90% capacity in just
over 2 hours.
Is the LS800 “warm-swappable”? Yes. This means that the system does not have to
be restarted to change a battery. Just put the system into
stand-by, swap the battery, and reactivate the system. The
total process takes less than 30 seconds.
What keyboards are offered to support the LS800 Tablet
PC? Motion offers 3 keyboard choices: 1) A very compact
foldable Bluetooth keyboard 2) a Wireless Mobile Keyboard
offering Bluetooth connectivity; and 3) a compact USB keyboard.
Why does Motion Computing offer three keyboards? The Think Outside Stowaway Keyboard is a very compact,
foldable Bluetooth keyboard. It is best used in conjunction
with the LS800 Bump case which provides a built-in kickstand
for keeping the product vertical while typing.
The Bluetooth-equipped Wireless Mobile Keyboard, while small
enough to travel with, is best suited as a companion to the
MobileDock or the Field Case – as it does not provide
a built-in stand to hold the Tablet upright for keyboarding.
The USB Mobile Keyboard provides a low cost, compact solution
designed primarily as a companion to the LS800 MobileDock.
What applications are included in the Motion Base
Software offering? The following standard software is included with
the LS800:
· Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
· Award-Winning Motion Dashboard
· Windows Journal and Sticky Notes
· Speech Recognition
