The Ultimate Mobile Computing Solution for the Blind— the PAC Mate Omni

The newest generation of the PAC Mate, Freedom Scientific’s accessible Pocket PC, is here. The PAC Mate Omni provides a host of productivity tools that enable access to virtually every application that sighted users of mainstream PDAs enjoy.

The PAC Mate Omni runs “Mobile” versions of popular Microsoft Office® applications and uses ActiveSync® to seamlessly synchronize with your desktop computer. Your e-mail, Contacts, appointments, files, Tasks, and even Web favorites are effortlessly updated every time you connect. It all happens in the background, while you use your PC or PAC Mate. The versatile PAC Mate Omni meets the on-the-go needs of users at work, at school, and at play with everything from word processing, to spreadsheets, to mobile Web access.

The PAC Mate Omni is powered by Windows Mobile® 6.0, the very latest Microsoft operating system — the most keyboard-friendly version of this operating system ever. With full support for soft keys in Windows Mobile products, the PAC Mate Omni enables you to install and easily operate a variety of off-the-shelf third-party Windows Mobile applications that offer keyboard support.

Get Started in a Flash
Turn on the PAC Mate Omni, and you’ll immediately notice the familiar feel and sound of JAWS®, the world’s most popular screen reading software. The PAC Mate Omni is loaded with context-sensitive Help features to get you up and running quickly with pre-installed Mobile versions of numerous Microsoft applications including: Word, Excel™, Calendar, Outlook, Inbox, Contacts, Internet Explorer™, Windows Media Player, and more.

Ease of Use Combined with Plenty of Power
The PAC Mate Omni features significant software enhancements packaged with new, upgraded hardware that does not appreciably change its outer appearance but does make it more powerful and easier to use than ever. Because all data is stored in flash memory, all your files and applications are retained, even if your unit is reset or the battery is fully discharged.
