i-mate's loyal customer base can now be the first in the world to purchase the first two devices within the Ultimate family - the Ultimate 6150 and the Ultimate 8150. The Ultimate range offers high-end functionality in a variety of sleek form factors - including 'video out' that can drive video and presentations directly onto a plasma screen or to a projector. The whole range is based on the latest Windows Mobile 6 technology.

"There has been a lot of anticipation amongst our customers, channel partners and followers for the top-of-the-range Ultimate products," revealed Jack Craine, General Manager MEA and India at i-mate™.

"With renewed focus on our home in the Middle East, and our commitment to our valuable retail partners established over the past five years as leaders in the touch screen category, we expect the Ultimate devices will now set a new standard in mobile handset technology and become the phone of choice for the discerning consumer."


i-mate Ultimate is range of high-end devices each with a sleek i-mate design. Each device is created to provide a powerful combination of both phone and PDA technology. From powerful processors, bright touch screens, HSDPA connectivity to the unique video out, the range is specified to meet the broad range of needs for all our current and future customers.

"Both consumers and businesses are looking to get more from their mobile devices than ever before," said Stuart Simms, Mobile Communications Business Director, Middle East & Africa. "Windows Mobile and i-mate are working together to deliver versatile devices - like those within the Ultimate range - that quickly adapt to users' lifestyle at work and in their free time."

The Ultimate 6150 is a sleek modern PDA form factor with Windows Mobile 6 VGA touch screen and the Ultimate 8150 has both a VGA touch screen and dial keypad with XT9 for simple and speedy text entry. Both devices run on a powerful 520 MHz processor and are HSDPA enabled which brings a powerful personal computing experience to the i-mate Ultimate range improving how business users will be able to access and manage email, documents and media files on the go.

One of the advanced and exclusive features on the Ultimate devices is XGA direct video out. This allows users to present Microsoft Office applications and videos directly from their Ultimate device onto a secondary display. Business users will find this feature extremely beneficial as they no longer need to take a laptop into a meeting to do a presentation, but can drive their PowerPoint presentation directly from their Ultimate device.
