AML M8050 Compact Handheld Computer

Designed for the demands of today's mobile workforce, the new AML M8050 is a user-friendly, full-featured handheld computer that delivers outstanding functional value in a compact, lightweight package. Featuring a high-capacity 5,200 mAh battery, users can easily get more than 8 hours of operation before recharging, even with intensive barcode scanning and radio activity.

Unique features of the M8050 include the integration of a magnetic stripe reader (MSR), which has a distinct advantage over competitive units that offer "plug-in" or "bolt-on" accessories when it comes to ruggedness and survivability. Another feature is a trackball pointing device which compliments the stylus and touchscreen, but also allows one-handed "point-and-click" operations when using the stylus may be cumbersome or undesireable.

The M8050 comes equipped with a fast, yet low-power, 400MHz microprocessor and 128MB of RAM and 128MB Flash ROM…more than enough memory to handle any mobile application. Additional flash memory can be installed via the user-accessible micro SD slot.

Available in Batch, WiFi, and WiFi+Bluetooth® configurations, the M8050 can be tailored for any application. Optional 1D laser or enhanced 2D imaging barcode scanning technology turns the M8050 into a complete data collection solution.

Product Features

High-capacity battery
At the time of its launch, the M8050 will feature the highest capacity battery of any handheld computer on the market. Its 5200 mAh battery will ensure that users can scan all day and into the night without a battery change.
Integrated MSR
The M8050 features a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) integrated into the case. Competitive devices, that offer an MSR as an option, require that the device be "plugged in" or "bolted on" as an accessory, which greatly reduces the durability and the drop rating of the device. By integrating the MSR, the M8050 drop rating is not compromised with added bulk or additional points of failure.
Multiple Operating Systems
The AML M8050 is available in both Windows CE 6.0 and Linux 2.6 versions offering application developers the freedom to chose the operating system that best meets their requirements.
Cost-effective and cost-saving
The M8050 is designed to appeal to today's cost-conscious retail buyer. Starting at $995.00 List (Batch version), the M8050 is dollar-for-dollar and ounce-for-ounce one of the most versatile handheld computers on the market.


Target Markets & Applications

The M8050 from AML is versatile enough to be used in a wide range of applications ranging from retail line-busting and in-store data collection, to hospitality, gaming, trade show/convention venues, and many, many more. Its ultra-long battery keeps it on the job longer than any other handheld in its class.
