eBook™ with Microsoft Reader™ Technology and Windows CE™ is a new technology solution that allows users to read eBooks using Microsoft ClearType Technology™. MOTO Development Group partnered with Montgomery Pfeifer ID and BSquared to develop the first Microsoft eBook device. Microsoft selected MOTO based on the company's 10 plus years experience developing handheld computer products for companies including Apple, Fujitsu, Alps, and ATI. As a part of the solution, MOTO worked with Bsquared to build one hundred prototype devices to be used by Microsoft as technology demonstration, reference designs, and for seed software development. An innovative mixture of prototyping and high-volume manufacturing techniques was used to produce the robust low weight device. The final result was presented at COMDEX '99 and launched Microsoft's entry into the eBook product space.
