Symbol, bar code reader specialist, may be preparing to launch MC35, a Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC said to be a "durable, lightweight... all-in-one enterprise communication device".

Although not much is known about this handheld's features at the time, MC35 will most probably run Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 software, will have a built in GPS receiver, Voice Over IP (VoIP) and Push to Talk, and will be more lightweight than the other handhelds Symbol has produced so far. The picture is a little blurry, but it should give you a basic idea of how the MC35 might look when it will be released.

Symbol's MC35 is estimated to hit the stores in the first quarter of 2007, most likely February, while a foreign-language and WiFi capable version known as the "WLAN" version should be arriving shortly after, probably in March or April.
