        BlueShark Technologies has added two models to its line of Windows Embedded thin client devices. The Apriza 5400 and 5410 run Windows CE 5.0 with a local Internet Explorer 6.0 browser, and offer excellent performance at "very attractive prices," according to the company.

Both are based on a Via Eden 400 MHz processor, and come with 64 MB of RAM and 32 MB of Flash memory. The 5410 adds an Ericom PowerTerm terminal emulation suite.
