Introducing the newest member of the Pepper Pad handheld Web computer family. The first handheld devices to deliver a seamless user experience for entertainment and communication services built around the convergence of the Web and digital media. The Pepper Pad 3 is the first product created by the partnership between HanBit Electronics and Pepper Computer.

The sleek new Pepper Pad 3 includes all of the award-winning features of the original Pepper Pad plus greatly enhanced Web and video performance, faster Wi-Fi and USB connectivity and a built-in video camera. All of this in a smaller design that makes it even easier to carry and use.

Because the Pepper Pad has both built-in Wi-Fi and a disk, consumers can stream and download their favorite music, videos and photos and carry them around the house or on-the-go. No PC or sync required.

With the Pepper Pad’s secure, low-maintenance application environment, you and your customers can concentrate on enjoying the world of broadband instead of spending time and money on support and software maintenance. Unlike a PC, it just works.
