Yesterday the company and the company MakTsentr Sasio Computer held a joint press conference on the Russian market the output of a number of new products from Sasio. According to Dmitry Havzhu, director MakTsentr, the share of sales PDAs Sasio on world markets Windows CE-devices is now about 44%, while in Russia this figure reaches 85%. According to popular devices Sasio stand in third place after the Palm and Psion (20% of Russian market of PDA). Thus, we can safely say that Sasio - leading manufacturer of handheld Windows CE. It is interesting that in a conference attended by Mr. Okun Takayuki, head of the Sasio in Moscow. The journalists had an excellent opportunity to ask him any questions personally. True, we can not say that the questions were many, but some explanations Okun-san still did. But more about that shortly.

Product range can be divided into five categories: handheld computers Cassiopeia, subnotebooks Cassiopeia Fiva, electronic organizers Pocket Viewer, a family of "smart" watch Sasio and digital cameras. I must say, the device proved to be quite interesting. Sasio remained true to himself throughout: covered all areas of modern life "mobile" people, from professional activities, ending with only an amateur pastime. Each new product is aimed at specific target groups, and if used in the manufacture of high-tech products to the main account was placed on "advanced" users, but now there is a significant shift towards the masses. A good example of this are at least three of the demonstrated devices. However, start all the same with a very intelligent pocket-Computer literacy Cassiopeia E-125, calculated on a fairly narrow category of users. E-125 is positioned as "an indispensable tool in any business" and "mobile office in your pocket." Do not know about the first but the second statement is completely untrue. New Cassiopeia essentially no different from the previous model E-115. It is important that the device operates at an advanced processor (32-bit RISC (NEC VR4122) with a frequency of 150 MHz) and supports USB. According to Andrey Kuznetsov, head of mobile development company MakTsentr, Cassiopeia E-125 is a logical development of the line handheld business class from Cassio.

The second model presented PDAs, EM 500, at first sight surprising atypical devices Cassiopeia design. Control buttons, of course, remain the same, but reducing the size and angularity of the body disappeared firm. Fashion today colored shell (5 colors) make a device design particularly relevant. It should be noted that the Cassiopeia EM 500, mainly aimed at young people. Talking about the device, Andrey Kuznetsov stressed new opportunities to work with a cell phone standard, GSM. In this regard, Sasio made a significant step forward. Model EM 500, as well as E-125 supports USB.

Another pocket-sized novelty from Casio - Pocket Viewer PV-250X. The device operates on the basis of its own operating system Casio.According to Dmitry angrily, manager of potrebitelstkih goods Casio, this rather simple and inexpensive electronic organizer sold more than a PDA Cassiopeia. This is not surprising, because the Pocket Viewer is designed for the mass market, the device can even be classified as electronic notebooks. Asked about the plans Casio work with any other operating system except Windows CE OS and Casio, Mr. Okun said Takayuki very vaguely like the fact that "the market situation changes, the OS improved and we are keeping pace with the times, so anything is possible ... "But apparently (or more precisely - on the market success of Casio Windows CE PDAs), will soon support other operating systems is planned. Presented limelight subnotebook Cassiopeia Fiva MPC-102Series made a good impression at all. At least a few people have called him the best of today such devices. This pocket sized notebook with a videotape running with a full version of Windows 98 is fully compatible with the PC. What at first glance attracts Fiva - a stylish and surprisingly compact.

It's time to tell you about the most amazing updates from Casio. Oddly enough, this watch. New Casio digital watch is difficult to call for hours, as they have built such complex devices like MP3-player or a GPS-receiver. Perhaps, from the James Bond spy devices, embedded in all imaginable and unimaginable items of equipment, the watch is distinguished by only a few limited technical capabilities. Today, "007" can be almost everyone. Only the picture on the clock (model Wrist Camera with built-in camera) will turn out not very clear and only black and white. And the batteries in the MP3-player (model Wrist Audio Player) is enough only for 4 hours. Well, the GPS-receiver (model Pathfinder) is not very accurate. Nevertheless, a multifunctional clock more pluses than minuses. If anyone needs a convenient player for the morning runs - the clock on the arm, the wire through the hose and go! The most primitive and most compact version of the electronic organizer - a watch PC-Unite. Overview of the device from Andrei Knyazev already exists in our Library.

At a press conference Casio has introduced two digital cameras: QV-2300 QV-3000. Igor Glushchenko, coordinator sales representative in Moscow, Casio, very detailed account of their abilities and characteristics. Casio QV-3000, as the name implies, is a 3-megapixel digital camera with the possibility of tripling. The camera is unique. One of the best semi-professional digital cameras. Not so long ago I had a chance to work with this device, and a digital camera the results were not bad. But, frankly, in terms of quality and convenience of digital cameras is still inferior to film. Digital Camera, QV-3000, as a simple model QV-2300 is equipped with a USB port and, of course, a slot for memory cards. The standard delivery includes CF card on an 8-MB, but it always seems too little. Said QV-2300 - a brand-new 2-megapixel digital camera. Its distinguishing feature - the ability to rotate the lens at 270 Co. This allows you to shoot the sky, not raising his head (agree, it is convenient), or even yourself. In the latter case there is no need to give your precious camera in the hands of random passers-by or run out quickly when shooting with a delay. When you create a Casio QV-2300 tried to make how much friendlier user interface, but the principles of navigation, in general, are the same as in the QV-3000. Light weight (245 grams without batteries) and compactness make this device very suitable for non-professional photography.Summarized description of the QV-2300 can be the words of Igor Glushchenko: QV-2300 - a high-quality amateur chamber.
