The Taiwanese company E-TEN announced the new G500+ device that will improve all-in-one Pocket PC Phone and GPS Device with 256MB Flash RAM, FM Radio and Direct Push Technology.

The G500+ Pocket PC Phone with built-in GPS is the only product that integrates all the functions needed by mobile professionals or frequent travelers in one convenient device. Quad-band GSM and GPRS support allows G500+ owners to send and receive voice, text and data calls from almost anywhere in the world, and with the newly added Direct Push technology functions, the G500+ even allows businesses to set up 'Push Email' services so that mobile workers are always in touch with the office.

The G500+ includes an increased 256MB of flash memory (double the previous capacity) enabling users to store information such as contacts and files, additional applications, or extra GPS maps directly on the device without the need for additional memory cards. The newly integrated FM radio supports advanced RDS functionality and boasts an intuitive interface which makes it easy to search for broadcasts in the area, providing useful access to local news and updates.

E-TEN includes several exclusive software utilities designed to deliver the best possible GPS experience. The device includes Satellite Data Update, a utility which can shorten the positioning time of GPS signals to as little as 10-20 seconds by enabling a quick link to satellite records from E-TEN's own servers.

Additional features include: 400 MHz processor, miniSD card slot, quad-band GSM module, support for GPRS Class B, Bluetooth v2.0, embedded SiRF Star III chipset, TMC function supported, speakerphone function, built-in 1.3 megapixel digital camera with zoom function, support for video recording, Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket Pcs, and 240 x 320 pixels, 65,536 colors transmissive TFT-LCD.
