A Pidion BIP-5000 handheld computer is a mobile device that allows workers to conduct business remotely. Unlike consumer-grade smart phones, the Pidion BIP-5000 is rugged and built for the workplace. It is designed to withstand a one and a half meter fall, and can work in freezing conditions as well as very hot conditions. The Pidion BIP-5000 runs a version of the Windows Mobile Operating System, and has access to many popular Office applications. Workers can synchronize their device with their email through the use of Microsoft’s Office Outlook application, providing one centralized location for all of a person’s emails. This can aid a person in staying in touch no matter where their work day takes them. They can also use the Microsoft Office Word application to write reports, read reports, and edit reports. Given these capabilities, a person can work effectively away from the office with this mobile device.
