The Jet PDAs run Windows CE 4.2 on a 400 MHz XScale processor with 64 MB of RAM and 32 or 64 MB of Flash.
Wireless communications options include built-in Bluetooth and 802.11 WiFi, as well as GPRS/GSM cellular through the user-accessible SIM socket. All wireless ports can operate simultaneously, according to the company.
Data capture options include a 1D laser scanner, 2D imager, and 13.56 MHz RFID. Other interface ports include USB 1.1, RS232, and IrDA.
Aside from color, the SilverJET and the BlackJET differ in how their numeric keypads are utilized. The BlackJET provides a "function-based" keyboard for direct ERP transactions, while the SilverJET utilizes a "web-based" keyboard for HTML applications.
