About E-TEN Information Systems
Founded in 1985, E-TEN built the first Chinese language input system for DOS based computers, thereby introducing the personal computer revolution to the Chinese language. The E-TEN system went on to become a foundation of the internationally recognized Big5 Chinese character coding standard. With a background in software and data management, information appliances (IAs) and personal digital assistants (PDAs) were a natural market for E-TEN to pursue. By the middle of the 90's E-TEN was the undisputed leader of the Chinese language based PDA/IA market.
E-TEN released its first Pocket PC based PDA, E-TEN P600, in the year 2001 and then P700 and P300 in 2003. They were all huge success and big hits to European and Asian market.
