Pocket-sized Productivity for People on the Move
Symbol Technologies has combined the latest bar code scanning technology
with the Palm OS® Platform to create the SPT 1500. Based
on the popular Palm III™, the SPT 1500 is a powerful
productivity tool, enabling users to capture and manage data with
unparalleled convenience and functionality.
Manage Data at the Point of Activity
Equipped with the SPT 1500, mobile professionals in a host of
industries are able to manage data anytime, anywhere. In retail
the SPT 1500 enables single-handed asset tracking, inventory management
and physical data collection with a tool that moves easily from
the stock room to the sales floor. Healthcare providers can download
patient information before rounds, and update records at bedside.
Service technicians can track inventory while in the field. Salespeople
are able to enter customer information, scan items from a bar-coded
catalog and check downloaded price lists, all while at the customer's
site. Additionally, the process of home shopping can be significantly
improved with the SPT 1500. Instead of written shopping lists, consumers
can scan items as they are depleted, creating an electronic shopping
list. This electronic list can be used on the next shopping trip
or uploaded over the phone lines to the local store for home delivery.
Tailor Applications for Your Busines
Any business can tailor the adaptable SPT 1500 to boost the productivity
of its mobile professionals. Because the device uses the Palm OS®
Platform, programmers can build solutions using a wide selection
of scan-enabled graphical development tools. Also, more than 1,000
third-party applications have been developed for the platform. The
combination of development tools and applications makes it easy
to find or create software for any data collection need. In addition,
there are more than 50,000 developers registered to create solutions
for the Palm OS® Platform. The device comes with a generous
2 MB each of RAM and flash memory. A 4 MB configuration is available
to accommodate larger application demands. The Palm OS™ Software
Development kit includes Symbol Application Programming Interfaces
(API) for controlling the scanner and manipulating data input. A
growing roster of software companies support the SPT product family
with tools for network and database connectivity.
Easy to Operate Anywhere
The SPT 1500 was designed for convenient operation in the office
or on the road. The SPT 1500 uses Symbol's state-of-the-art SE 900
scan engine, the smallest, lightest, brightest available today,
for premium performance. A touch-based graphical interface, push-button
controls and backlit 160 x 160-pixel display make it easy on the
eyes, even outdoors or in dimly lit spaces. Two AAA batteries deliver
many hours of power, and the SPT 1500 supports both single and multi-slot
serial cradles for flexible host communications in most network
and user environments.
Symbol systems are critical to business success in data-intensive,
time-critical environments, because our systems help you capture,
access and manage information at the point of business activity.
