SPEED
Wireless
cellular networks are plagued by limited bandwidth, and
even with next-generation networks, data carries a lower
priority than voice. DataWind's technology
accelerates the delivery of web-pages by factors of 10X
to 30X, without any change in network infrastructure.
While
other products deliver web pages in as much 3 to 4
minutes across cellular networks, DataWind consistently
delivers pages in less than 10 seconds.

BANDWIDTH
CONSUMPTION
With
next-generation packet networks, the cost to the
carrier, and hence the consumer is no longer the amount
of time spent online, but instead the number of packets
(megabytes of bandwidth) consumed. Packet networks
optimize bandwidth usage by bundling and parsing
multiples of channels to deliver a more enhanced
experience.
DataWind's
solution consumes significantly less bandwidth, thereby
creating savings for both the carrier and the
customer. A customer can easily save over 200MB in
bandwidth with the DataWind solution, in 20 hours of
usage over a month -- which could result in $20 to $80
in carrier data charges.

USER
EXPERIENCE
Most
handheld devices cannot deliver the full web
experience. For example, upon reading the
fine-print, they'll reveal, that they: Cannot
view Java applets, Java-Scripts, image maps, animated
images, background colors/image, font colors,
style-sheets or plug-ins. They not only require
to go through a new learning-curve, but require
content providers to re-create existing web content
for each different device.
DataWind,
on the other hand, delivers the complete desktop web
experience: Full HTML web pages, graphics, java-applets,
java-scripts, active-X controls, cookies, pop-ups, PDF
files and more.
It requires no new learning curve or recreation of
content.

SCREEN
SIZE
DataWind's
Web Viewer delivers a full-screen 640 pixel VGA-width
user experience, requiring minimal horizontal
scrolling.
With
competitive products, small screen sizes, result in
re-formatted scrunched-up pages that do not resemble the
user's desktop experience. If the pages are not
re-formatted, they require significant scrolling, making
usage very difficult. While, when they are
re-formatted, content becomes difficult to locate and
navigate.

FORM
FACTOR
DataWind's
PocketSurfer Web Viewer is the thinnest of the handhelds
in the market, making it easy to carry and store.
The size of a cheque-book, it can be easily carried in a
pocket or purse.

PRICE
Price
Matters: Competitive products are not only
expensive, but require customers to be locked into long
term, expensive monthly contracts in-order to subsidize.
DataWind's
Web Viewer is affordable, with no need for lengthy
contracts.

MEMORY
& PROCESSING POWER:
Handheld
devices have limited memory and processing power --
constrained by the physical size and battery life.
DataWind's solution provides the power of a monster
handheld, in the palm of one's hand, while keeping the
device affordable, thin, light and with a long battery
life.

COVERAGE
The PocketSurfer works everywhere your cell-phone works. DataWind's
solution is network agnostic, and will work on past,
current and future networks, providing the broadest
coverage of any handheld web device.
While other products are limited to next-generation 2.5G
and 3G networks, with limited coverage -- the DataWind
Web Viewer will deliver a faster, richer experience on
2G networks, than most devices can on even 3G networks.
[The PocketSurfer
works everywhere. The PocketSurfer works anywhere
your cell-phone gets signal.]
