Business Tax Break on Motion Computing

There is a 50% tax break for small businesses (with turnover of less than $2 Million)  on Computer Hardware purchases made before 31st December 2009.

The above tax deduction is in addition to the deductions for decline in value you can claim for the cost of the asset you use in your business.

Example:

John is a smash repairer who purchases a Motion Computing J3400 Tablet PC for his business and installs it in August 2009. The J3400 costs $4,000 (excluding GST and the cost of software installed on the computer). John will be able to claim an addiitonal $2,000 tax deduction (50% of $4,000) in his 2008-09 tax return.

After applying the 30% company tax rate (the rate which applies to his business), this tax deduction would reduce the amount of tax John’s business would have to pay by $600.

Mobile Broadband Installation process

Motion Computing doesn’t ship the Tablet PC with the modem pre-installed as every customer uses a different Telco, so you have to install the required software to get it going.

If you buy the Sierra Wireless Broadband Modem option when you start Windows for the first time I box will pop up which says new ‘Mini PCI Card’ hardware found. Click do not ask me again, and click OK. (You will have to repeat this half a dozen times as there are different components to this part).

Installing the Sierra Watcher Software

Connect to the Internet either using a Wireless Network, or via the Ethernet port and then download the Sierra Watcher Software from the Motion Computing Support website here: http://www.motioncomputing.com/support/driver_download.asp

If you use Telstra as a ISP get the Telstra driver, if you use any other Telco such as Optus, Vodafone, 3 etc then choose the Generic Driver.

In Australia,  you will get the fastest connection speed and largest coverage area with Telstra Next G, other Telcos will still work – but they just won’t be as fast.

After installing, power down and insert your SIM Card (under the battery) and then restart your Motion Computing Tablet PC. You should now be able to connect to the Internet with the Sierra Watcher software and have mobile broadband.

Motion Computing LE1700 Discontinued

The Motion Computing LE1700 will no longer be manufactured. With only a few hundred units left globally, LE1700′s will likely only be available to order for the next few weeks, so if you want one you will need to act fast!

If you order a Motion LE1700 now from Workflow Computing you will receive a free upgrade to SXGA (1400 x 1050) Ultraview View Anywhere Display.

If you already own an LE1700 or are interested in buying one, don’t worry, accessories will still be available: “The LE1700 Standard batteries will be available thru 2011, the Extended batteries thru 2010, and power packs and digitizer pens will continue to be available indefinitely”.
