TORONTO: Electrovaya Inc announced Friday that it has begun commercial shipments of its SCRIBBLER Tablet PC. Sankar Das Gupta, president and CEO of Electrovaya Inc., said, "We launched our Tablet PC, SCRIBBLER to meet the growing demand from portable computer users for mobility and productivity." Electrovaya credits its launch to the development support it received from Microsoft and from Electrovaya's Tier 1 Taiwanese ODM supplier. "We are pleased with these two strong partners whose support helped bring the product to market," Dr. Das Gupta added. SCRIBBLER models SC300, SC500 and the SC800 with fingerprint identification are all currently available. Electrovaya's SCRIBBLER is the only Tablet PC that meets Microsoft's mobility goals of lasting a full working day without needing recharging. SCRIBBLER will run the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system, enabling users to do everything they do with a PC today, and adds the capabilities of entering, searching and storing notes with a stylus pen. SCRIBBLER also includes a unique integrated keyboard. The SCRIBBLER is powered by Electrovaya's patented SuperPolymer(TM) lithium ion battery. The super thin, lightweight batteries have the highest energy density compared to other commercially available rechargeable batteries. The SCRIBBLER weighs less than four pounds and will be available with batteries from 80 to 160 Watt hours of energy. Standard Tablet PC batteries only have 25 to 36 Watt hours of energy.
