Wyse Technology introduced today the availability of its X90 and X90e thin notebooks. These are the first mobile thin clients to offer multimedia video playback, integrated Bluetooth 2.0 and built-in smart
card support, 802.11b/802.11g, optional 3G wireless capabilities and a 12.1-inch LCD wide screen. Now the key benefits of thin computing such as greater security, flexibility and overall lower operating costs, can be extended to mobile users.

Powered by a VIA C7-M ULV, 1.2 GHz processor, the X90e utilizes the latest version of Microsoft Windows XPe. Unlike traditional notebooks, the Wyse X90e thin client displays applications housed on VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Citrix Application Delivery and Microsoft Windows Terminal Server data centers, and has no hard drive so information can’t be stored locally posing no security risk. All files and applications remain on the server where they are better protected from data theft and viruses.

“Given the shift to notebooks on the PC side, it’s critical for thin client vendors to come up with solid offerings and it finally seems as if those efforts are starting to bear fruit,” said Bob O’Donnell, Vice President of Research at IDC. “For the first half of 2007, mobile thin client shipments only represented 1.6 percent of the market. However, we expect that percentage to grow strongly over time.”

With no hard drive or fan, the Wyse X90 and X90e thin client notebooks have no moving parts, and therefore operates silently, with superior reliability. Other key features on these notebooks include 512MB of flash, 512MB of RAM, an overall weight of 3.88 Lbs with battery, capability for Ethernet, USB, built-in Wi-Fi, or cellular connections. This enables users to access data from any location served by cellular or Wi-Fi wireless providers, including sales and home offices or hotels.

Additionally, the Wyse X90e comes with built-in support for the most popular ISO 7816 Class A and AB smart card standards, giving users a secure single sign-on system for accessing Microsoft Windows applications.

The Wyse X90 thin notebook complements existing Wyse thin client lines and comes in two configurations — X90 and X90e. The X90 retails for $699 while the X90e with built-in Bluetooth and smart card support retails for $779. Both models support Wyse’s zero client computing vision. Volume shipments will begin in late September. Wyse is offering introductory pricing until November at $599 (X90) and $679 (X90e).
