Beta Test a Multimedia PDA

By Nate Mook | Published June 26, 2003, 9:50 PM

Centercode is seeking technology professionals to beta test a new handheld device with multimedia functionality. Candidates must have access to a bluetooth-enabled mobile phone with GPRS or GSM connectivity in order to test wireless capabilities of the PDA.

Centercode is specifically looking for testers between the age of 30 and 50 that have attended college and work in a business profession. Frequent e-mail use away from the office using wireless is also a must.

International testers from Europe and Asia will be given priority, although applicants from the United States, Canada and Mexico will also be accepted. Fluency in English is a requirement for all testers.

Applications for the beta test will be accepted until Monday, June 30. Interested candidates should update their Centercode profiles to reflect the requirements of the beta. To review detailed test requirements and application instructions, visit the Centercode Tester Callout.

Anyone remember the good ol' days of Centercode? Back before anyone knew who Centercode was, the testing pool was smaller, and you could be picked to help test just about anything you signed up for? Those days are long gone. :(
