SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2003--NEC Solutions (America), Inc. (Nasdaq:NIPNY), a premier provider of integrated solutions for the Connected Enterprise in North America, today announced that it has reduced the price of the award-winning NEC Versa(R) LitePad Tablet PC by nearly 25 percent this holiday season to $1,799 U.S.

Thinnest and Lightest Design

Introduced in February 2003, the Versa LitePad is the thinnest and lightest slate-style Tablet PC solution on the market with an ultra slim profile of .6-inches thick, 8.8-inches wide by 11.6-inches long and weighs a feather light 2.2 pounds. The Versa LitePad is also equipped with the ultra low voltage Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) III -- M processor at 933MHz with 256MB memory to maximize performance.

"NEC has built a solid reputation with business users by providing mobile solutions that offer superior technology, convenience and ease of use," said Larry Sheffield, senior vice president of Solutions Platform Group for NEC Solutions America. "With this price reduction we are able to offer an even greater value to our customers without having to comprise the level of quality they have come to expect from NEC products."

Designed for the Mobile User

The Versa LitePad is designed for both horizontal and vertical market applications and is ideally suited for higher education institutions and business organizations looking to replace traditional paper-based systems with a mobile solution that can drastically simplify workflow and collaboration processes. For example, universities can leverage the use of the Versa LitePad within science and agricultural departments, allowing teachers and students to extend the boundaries of the traditional classroom and conduct real-time field analysis and data collection assignments while using the latest technology. Likewise, real estate professionals can use the Versa LitePad to digitally illustrate floor plan and material options to potential home buyers, as well as for remotely accessing leasing information and data from a central server.
