We’re pleased to announce 2 new great products - the REDFLY C7 and C8N. These announcements continue our success with the Smartphone Terminal category.

The REDFLY C7 is a lightweight device at only 1.5 lbs with a 7-inch screen and 5-hour battery for only $229 suggested retail price. Check it out, a device with 7-inch screen and 5-hour battery for $229. The Smartphone Terminal architecture is a winning solution!

The REDFLY C8N has the same features as the original REDFLY but includes a media port and is available for suggested retail price of $299. The REDFLY Media Port enables the optional REDFLY Media Cable to connect a USB device or composite video input. With an iPod, you can use the large 8-in screen to watch a video on the road or view digital images from a camera. A great new feature for the REDFLY Smartphone Terminal! Take a look at our Video on REDFLY page for a detailed explanation.

We also added beta drivers for the HTC Diamond and Touch Pro. See www.celiocorp.com/install/beta for more details.

The REDFLY C7 will be available November 24 and REDFLY C8N will be available December 1. Place your orders now from retailers listed at www.getredfly.com.
