Sporting Windows Mobile 5.0, a VGA display, 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi, the i-mate JASJAR trails the T-Mobile MDA Pro as one of the most advanced communicators to date.

Extending the upper end of its product portfolio, i-mate has announced its introduction of the JASJAR, a high-end communicator powered by Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. Offering the same feature set as the recently unveiled T-Mobile MDA Pro, the device boasts powerful specifications and unparallelled connectivity, and is also among the first of two Windows Mobile devices to offer 3G connectivity.

Brimming with features, the i-mate JASJAR measures in at a considerable 128 x 81 x 25 mm and 285 g with a clamshell form factor which opens to allow access to its thumbboard and 3.6-inch 65K colour display with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The device can be used in either palmtop or tablet configurations, as the screen half swivels 180 degrees and closes to cover the thumbboard.

Powered by a 520 MHz PXA270 processor, the MDA Pro integrates an array of connectivity options including tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz, GPRS Class 10 and WCDMA 2100 MHz - or 3G, as it is less cryptically known. Also present is Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11b, Infrared and USB 2.0, placing the JASJAR as one of the two most capable communicators to date with regard to connectivity.

Other highlights include dual cameras for 3G video calls, one of which is front-mounted and bears a resolution of 0.3 MP, whilst its back-mounted counterpart boasts a resolution of 1.3 MP. 128 MB of non-volatile memory is present for storing data, and the device also comes with applications such as Skype and CA eTrust Antivirus pre-installed in addition to the standard arrangement of Microsoft applications.

Claiming a standby time of up to 260 hours and talk time of up to 8 hours from its 1620 mAh exchangeable Lithium Ion battery, the i-mate JASJAR is immediately available worldwide, selling in the €975 EUR range.
