Motion Selects Wacom feel IT technologies For Its Latest Tablet PC

Tokyo, Japan and Vancouver, WA – Aug. 9, 2010 – Wacom® feel™ IT technologies has been selected as the key user interface for Motion Computing®’s new J3500 Tablet PC with Windows®7. The new ruggedized Motion J3500 offers the very best in mobile computing to field professionals seeking portability, performance and security. While optimized for the often harsh conditions of a mobile work environment, the J3500 is just as comfortable working in an enterprise environment.
With Wacom feel IT technologies supplying world-class multi-touch and pen input, the J3500 enables mobile workers to take advantage of the natural gesture navigation features built into Windows 7 and other software applications. When the need to annotate, draw, sketch or navigate smaller targets arises, users can employ the battery-free and cordless Wacom pen to enhance workflow and collaboration. Palm rejection technology distinguishes between intentional and false touches while stylus recognition enables users to easily switch between input modes.
As part of the family of Wacom feel IT technologies, Wacom's G6 sensor system provides immediate and accurate recognition of finger position and movement, enabling J3500 users to enjoy the natural and intuitive multi-touch capabilities inherent in Windows 7.
“The long-term relationship forged between Motion and Wacom is helping to make unique electronic devices more natural and robust to use,” said Hidetoshi Kamoto, Division General Manager of Wacom’s Component Business Division. “We are pleased to be working with Motion, a company that shares our vision of creating harmony between humans and technology.”
