Gradiente has partnered with Microsoft to announce the 'Gradiente Partner' Pocket PC Phone Edition device. The Gradient Partner shares the same hardware reference design as the other currently available Pocket PC Phone Edition devices.

The introduction of the Partner, which should hit market in March of 2003, is the first release of a wireless Pocket PC into the Latin American market. Gradient and Microsoft entered into a unique partnership when developing the partner. Together they developed a user-friendly interface that was totally adapted for the Portuguese language.
