TORONTO, ONTARIO -Electrovaya Inc.

“Its advanced design and sleek appearance enables an unmatched computing experience. The Scribbler™ SC2000 series design can be adapted to tablet or laptop configurations. Furthermore, no other portable computing device comes close to the functionality and runtime of the Scribbler™ SC2000 series ” said Dr. Sankar Das Gupta, CEO of Electrovaya.
“Electrovaya’s Scribbler™ SC2000 series is the next-generation Tablet PC enabling a new range of computing capabilities,” said Bill Mitchell, vice president of the Tablet PC Division at Microsoft Corp. “The enhanced mobility features and extended battery life of the Scribbler SC2000 allow users to take full advantage of the power and functionality in the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system and ink-enabled applications.”
“Electrovaya’s battery technology is second to none. We tested the battery life and were extremely impressed.

The ease of use and maintainability were bar-none the best encountered. The word is out in our company and is spreading”.
