The device will include Pocket Outlook (for contacts, calendar and e-mail inbox functions), pocket versions of Microsoft Word and Excel, Pocket Internet Explorer (Web browsing), Windows Media Player, and a phone dialer. The device runs on an Intel XScale 400MHz processor, and features a full-color TFT screen, QWERTY-style keyboard and embedded camera. It has a replaceable rechargeable battery.

The Multimedia Communicator is expected to be sold in the first half of 2003 through Sprint, the companies said. For more information, go to Hitachi's Web site. Pricing on the device will likely be determined by Sprint, and has not yet been announced.
