◆ Tuesday: Handling information at will, using Internet and PC communication
For a sales representative, information gathering is an important job. You
cannot neglect information about other companies, industry trends, or client information.
In addition to traditional information sources such as newspapers, trade publications,
and TV, the most speedy information today is information from the Internet.
The Power Zaurus offers Internet access via its “ZaurusNet” feature, which can
be achieved by using its built-in modem or an external modem, PHS, or a mobile phone. A
sales department Manager A collects information on other electronics manufacturers
automatically via the Internet, and in the case of information regarding customers, by
using links available on their home pages or by utilizing search engines on the Internet.
On the Internet, he also collects economic news and social topics and stores them
on the Power Zaurus to use in conversation with his clients.
In addition to the Internet, NIFTY Serve electronic conference rooms (forums)
are also one of his information sources. Home pages on the Internet tend to be one-way in
offering information, whereas electronic conference rooms mainly have information
exchanges among members. Not only advertising-related information, but also users’
direct opinions are important.
The sales department Manager A also utilizes e-mail in order to not to be
defeated by competitors’ sales representatives. The e-mail feature of the Power Zaurus
can be used both on the Internet and in PC communication.
He can send an e-mail message directly to the manager of a home page to
exchange opinions or to ask for some information which would be otherwise
inappropriate on the forum.
In addition, since it is possible to send a photograph taken with a digital camera
unaltered via e-mail, he sometimes attaches comments to a picture of a top sales site and
sends it to his subordinates via e-mail, for liaison.

◆ Wednesday: Having an edge in price negotiation with customers
For a sales representative, the most important aspect is the negotiation with
customers. Great effort in collecting and utilizing information is meaningless if your
customers don’t buy your products. To that end, the “spreadsheet” feature plays an active
role.
The Power Zaurus “spreadsheet” feature is highly compatible with the Microsoft
spreadsheet application Excel 95. You can practically copy a spreadsheet created with
Excel 95 on your PC onto your Power Zaurus almost as is.
Sales Manager A has created an Excel 95 calculation formula for customer
negotiations, and when he visits customers, he takes it with him by copying it from his
PC to his Power Zaurus using the “PC linkage software: Zaurus Power Connection.”
At his customer's location, he conducts a price negotiation to his advantage by
calculating purchase prices, purchase quantities, and discount rates thanks to the Power
Zaurus “spreadsheet” feature.

◆ Compared with features of the traditional personal day planner
Let’s see how the Power Zaurus differs from the traditional paper day planner,
and what you can do and you can’t do with it.
What are the characteristics of a paper day planner?
First of all, with a paper day planner, you can quickly write in it, using your
familiar writing tools, and writing is easy. With fixed formats and refills, you can be
certain to cover all items. Either you can draw with freehand on a blank page, or draw
neatly using a ruler.
Furthermore, you can use a marker to colorize to facilitate readability, easily
retrieve particular data with use of a bookmark, easily add information with a sticky note,
or thumb through pages to look for a piece of information.

Now, let’s see what you can do with this paper day planner that cannot be done
with the Power Zaurus.
◆ Is there anything the Power Zaurus can't do?
First, the biggest issue is that its screen size can’t be changed. With the paper
day planner, even a sheet of paper larger than the planner size can be folded and inserted
between pages, and expanded to see or write something on it as needed.
However, with the Power Zaurus, display is limited to a screen size of 4.3 inches
(320 dots x 240 dots display) maximum. This is half of the relatively small size VGA (640
dots x 480 dots) used for something like the Toshiba Libretto PC. You can see and write
on the area outside of the screen by scrolling the screen horizontally and vertically, but
the information you can see at one time is limited to that screen size amount.
For this reason, if you are to create a report directly in A4 size format, the screen
size is too small and inefficient. However, since the Power Zaurus has an enhanced
dynamic data link with the PC, you can transfer information you made with the Power
Zaurus to your PC, modify it on the PC, then return it back to the Power Zaurus.

◆ So many new features
The following is the list of features missing from the Access Zaurus and added to
the Power Zaurus, as well as enhanced features. The main features will be described on
the following pages.
[New Feature List]
New and enhanced
feature
Description of feature
Information file All the necessary information can be registered as a
single file. For example, you can see the schedule,
contacts, Internet information, and action list for an
oversea business trip at a glance.
Daily planner In addition to a schedule screen, you can see the action
list, contact entries (with actions like phone, Fax, or
e-mail to persons registered in the address book), and a
linked date with various data associated with that date
(e.g. reports, word processing, photo data, etc.) .
Address book The address book combines phone book and business card
management. Also, entry items are expanded to head shot
pasting, e-mail address, and mobile phone, etc.
Furthermore, past correspondence can be displayed by
registering contacts. Through the use of the information
file feature, you can distinguish the phone book from
business cards, like you do with the Monochrome Zaurus.
Ink word-processor A clean-copy feature has been added. When entry would
take too long through handwriting recognition, text can
be entered directly in the ink word-processor state, and at
a later time, the clean-copy feature turns the text into
character data.
Word-processor Just like word-processor software, you can create a
document with an easy to read layout (modification of
font size, color, and/or character style).
Voice note Using an earphone-microphone set sold separately, voice
recording and playback can be done.

Spreadsheet With the Excel compatible feature, you can not only
display but also perform data entry as well as chart
display.
Internet library When connected to the Internet, that screen can be saved.
Saving is possible in both automatic operation and
manual operation.
MORE software In addition to the Power Zaurus' own features, you can
also use applications made by other people using MORE.
FAX viewer You can see contents of a fax transmission received on
your screen.
Digital camera Using the digital camera card (equipped as standard for
MI-506DC, optional purchase for other models), you can
take digital photos. Photos taken will be listed in the
Photo Memory and can be used in e-mails.
Internet access You can access the Internet using the built-in FAX
modem, PHS, mobile phone, an external modem, etc.
There is also an automatic operation feature.
Portable keyboard A portable keyboard which was lacking in the previous
Zaurus generations is now available. This is convenient
for lengthy writing.
Faster built-in
FAX modem
The data transmission rate of the built-in FAX modem is
now a faster 33.3 Kbps (for FAX, however, 9.6 Kbps)
compared to the previous 14.4 Kbps.
PC card now supports
PCMCIA
Previously the IC cards used were a proprietary
Zaurus-only type. With Power Zaurus, you can use a
single PCMCIA Type-2 card widely used for laptop
computers.
Increased amount of
information can be saved
The Zaurus main memory size is now about 3.4 MB
(MI-506), and about 1.45 MB (MI-504), an increase of
about 1.5 – 3 times from before.
