Toronto, Canada - April 7, 2004 - Alias, a Silicon Graphics Inc. (NYSE: SGI) company, and ViewSonic Corp. today announced an agreement to bundle Alias� SketchBook(tm) Pro on all V1250 convertible Tablet PCs in North America. The agreement combines ViewSonic's Tablet PC technology with Alias' best-in-class digital pen-based sketching and annotation software, Alias SketchBook Pro.
Alias SketchBook Pro liberates creative professionals
Combining the features of paint, image organization, annotation and presentation, Alias SketchBook Pro replaces the traditional paper sketchbook, empowering users to develop digital pen-driven illustrations and designs and e-mail them directly from the application. Alias SketchBook Pro liberates creative professionals from their desks, enabling everyone from industrial, interior and fashion designers to game developers, illustrators and architects to draw wherever and whenever inspiration strikes.
"At less than four pounds and powered with the fastest, ultra-low voltage processor on the market, the V1250 is a perfect match with the functionality of Alias SketchBook Pro, and the combination allows users to capitalize on the broader vision of Tablet PCs," says Steve Maric, sales and marketing manager, Alias. "Alias SketchBook Pro complements the power and flexibility of the V1250, and we look forward to meeting the needs of a wide range of users."
"Creative applications like Alias SketchBook Pro highlight the versatility of the ViewSonic Tablet PCs," said Dan Coffman, senior product manager, ViewSonic. "By combining innovative drawing software with the power and performance of our V1250, mobile workers can now perform digital sketching tasks never before thought possible both inside and outside the office."
Industry's lightest convertible Tablet with a 12" screen
Designed for the enterprise user, the V1250 provides mobile workers anytime, anywhere and any-style computing by transforming from an ultraportable notebook computer to a slate-style tablet with a simple rotation of its LCD screen. When in the slate configuration, a unique navigation area helps the user quickly execute common tasks, such as scrolling or toggling between applications. An available docking station features the industry's only built-in spare battery charger, enabling users to easily charge a replacement battery to extend usage time without adding weight. ViewSonic� added an on/off switch for the integrated 802.11b wireless radio to allow greater mobile freedom and boost battery life performance.
Performance enhancing features such as auto-adjust brightness and four programmable easy-launch buttons are also included in the product.
Alias SketchBook Pro Trial Version
Alias SketchBook Pro full-feature trial software is now preloaded on all ViewSonic Tablet PC V1250 units sold in North America. The software will provide ViewSonic customers with the ability to use Alias SketchBook Pro without restriction for a 15-day trial period and provide a limited-feature version after the 15-day trial period expires.
