“We are making a global positioning system [GPS]-driven laptop to meet the demands of customers who want location-based services [LBS], 3.5G connectivity, wireless local area network and Bluetooth functionality,” Mitac president Billy Ho (何繼武) said.
The company will first launch an 8.9-inch netbook in the third quarter and then a 12.1-inch model in the fourth quarter. Both models, which will be splash and shock proof, will run on Microsoft’s new Windows 7 operating system.
Ho said Mitac netbooks would be sold through telecommunication carriers and will be available first in the Asia-Pacific region, including Taiwan, then Europe.
