Toronto, Ontario – Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) announced today that it has begun commercial shipments of its SCRIBBLER Tablet PC.
Sankar Das Gupta. President and Chief Executive Officer of Electrovaya Inc. said, “We launched our Tablet PC, SCRIBBLER to meet the growing demand from portable computer users for mobility and productivity.” Electrovaya credits its successful launch to the development support it received from Microsoft and from Electrovaya’s Tier 1 Taiwanese ODM supplier. “We are very pleased with these two strong partners whose support helped bring the product to market”, Dr. Das Gupta added. SCRIBBLER models SC300, SC500 and the SC800 with fingerprint identification are all currently available.
Electrovaya’s SCRIBBLER is the only Tablet PC that meets Microsoft’s mobility goals of lasting a full working day without needing recharging.
