Tablets and Handheld Computers

The next generation of BlackBerry device has moved beyond traditional business boundaries and made the BlackBerry into a multimedia device with music players, cameras, and video capabilities. With the patented BlackBerry Push e-mail, the device can be used to manage up to 10 separate e-mail accounts (or a new @yourcarrier.blackberry.com). The e-mail and web capabilities of the BlackBerry always have been, and continue to be, two of the most important features of the device. BlackBerry has been able to re-invent itself into a multimedia device with its "Connect to Everything You Love in Life with BlackBerry" campaign of advertisements, and now produces products that will allow you to stay in touch with anyone at anytime via e-mail; connect to Facebook, Flickr, or other networking sites; take, review, and send pictures; access music or video with the built-in Multimedia player. The new BlackBerry series' are now catering to the student who wants to talk with their friends and text, the businessman who needs to file reports and do work while he/she goes to work, and the everyday person who just needs a good, solid phone.

Smartphones tend to be more flashy than BlackBerry devices as more touch screen products are being introduced. Many will have a stronger camera with video, a touch screen (Though, RIM has introduced the BlackBerry Storm), or more applications available to them. Smartphones are oftentimes a more powerful phone than the BlackBerry with better graphics and more features. The BlackBerry tends to have a lower quality of call than many of its competitors. With non-BlackBerry devices, it is important for you to go to the local cellular phone dealer and compare the options of each phone. Make sure you go with a list of what you need to use your smartphone for (Texting, Internet, Simple Talking, Gaming, etc), and you will be able to find out which phones would work best for you.

The most important difference is that BlackBerries are much more Universal and always good for work, but that many other smartphones will be better for students or personal use.

The use of PDAs has visibly increased and in the applications which work with them so that a range of functions from accessing e-mail accounts and the Internet to sending faxes and digital images have become commonplace. Importantly, it is the PDA's ability to enable work in different environments and for different purposes that is allowing individuals and organizations to go beyond traditional computing and information seeking infrastructures. This ability is extending these boundaries to the benefit of personal and business applications. In particular, the wireless connectivity of the next generation of PDAs using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will likely support the extension and direction of future applications (see Wireless Networks). Wireless technology in general is set to become cheaper and much more common over the coming year as more home users and institutions deploy or adopt Wi-Fi kits to share lines and devices around the house or within the workplace. The net effect being, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will become a standard part of notebooks and PDAs. Additionally, Europe and Asia are embracing the wireless market since it moves away from underground cables and new civic planning. At this time, Intel is working with Wi-Fi technology to trial 'hotspot' location partners to create W-LAN (Wireless Local Area Network) marketing and services and has signed on fast food chain McDonalds, as well as Borders Group Books and Hilton Hotels (March 2003). These hotspots would allow PDA and other handheld device users to access information, product and internet resources via these local networks so wherever work or pleasure is located, the user will be 'connected'. On a related note, Palm Canada and Air Canada have jointly released their "Beam & Fly" station in the Air Canada Domestic Maple Leaf lounge at Pearson International Airport. The Beam & Fly station is a new service that allows travellers to receive up-to-the-minute flight schedules, destination guides, world news, sports briefs, and airport maps simply by beaming them into their Palm handheld computers. Analysts predict that this rapid roll out of wireless technology and related applications will drive the development of a new class of handheld device, namely those that can themselves act as 'servers'. This would entail that server technology be incorporated on hand held devices to enable message and service brokering, database hosting and access to selected data. Consequently, businesses and institutions may become part of an infrastructure of ad hoc server networks, more accurately described as On-Demand Mobile Server Networks. Applications in such a network could be on-demand mobile conferencing rather than Instant Messaging. The difference from present set ups would be the ability to move data, images (static and live), and interactive voice messaging, along with text rather than merely simple text messaging. This would be a direct device-to-device transaction, not one going through a central server. As an extension of the on-demand concept, there is evidence that the Web will itself be eclipsed by the 'executable net' which will allow real-time interactive experiences through disposable code, and the extended internet - an information network which covers all electronic devices such as PDAs. Some would say this is a natural outcome of an increasingly mobile population. Indeed, we are already experiencing aspects of this future in the trend toward building ad hoc community based networks. In his new book, Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution, Howard Rheingold applies principles of computer science, economics and anthropology to uncover a sociological shift embodied by what he calls "Generation Txt" - young, mobile persons who use PDAs, mobile phones, and pagers, to create virtual communities and to coordinate community protests and stage events by sending text messages. This phenomenon also known as 'mob-logging,' or mobile blogging, is spreading out globally, using mobile devices and the Web to disseminate information. The changing scope of personalisation is also indicative of these movements. It is becoming a case of mycommunity, rather than myinformation. More users are asking about what they are missing and whether other users think this information is important. Such a shift toward forms of collective communication further underlines how mobile technologies are changing how we view time, the way we navigate our cities and personal spaces, and how we collaborate with other groups of people. Handheld devices, like PDAs, are poised to become key platforms and agents of this shift.

A Pocket PC is a small hand held computer device that runs Windows CE or Windows Mobile. These devices can be stand alone but many cell phones come with the Pocket PC built into the phone. These phones are called smart phones.

A Smartphone.

It allows me to use my laptop to connect to the internet when I am in an area that does not have WIFI or a Hotspot.

I don't know I was trying to find out

You can't do two apps (other than Music) at the same time on an iPad. Buy the album at the iTunes store, open Music, start song....

No. Cheaply made. Can't upgrade the OS. Can't use google app store.

Yep. You are capable of using it overseas so long as they have providers that hold MicroSIMs compatible with the iPad. The iPad is "unlocked" as stated by Jobs in the keynotes so, international use should be a-okay.

It depends on the type of game: sports, action, puzzle, etc.

No, none of the Canon MP-series printers have AirPrint capability. There are other solutions for this printer, but they involve emailing the file to a special server, and this is a big pain to set up. The list of AirPrinters are below.

They contaminate the soil, and water supplies near them. They are mainly composed of plastic,glass,silicon,lead and other material's.

If the touch screen is recognizing the stylus but not accurate recalibrate. If the Stylus is not being recognized at all. BAD

The Roman Republic engraved it's laws on these tablets.

if your talking about wiping the screen off you can use any soft rag or cloth. cotton would probably be the best. but if you really want a good screen wiper they sell them in stores such as best buy, kmart, walmart, target or at any electronics store

A PDA is a Personal Digital Assistant. They consist of things like calenders, address books, To Do lists and notepads. All of these things are designed to help you stay organized.

this could also mean 'public display of affection'

hold in fn and the key with the little camera on it welll that is how you do it on mine :s

the average mark up for a watch is 40% so apply that number to the watch you are looking at to find the amount it cost to make it. the cost of watches varies massively from cheap ones all the way to Rolex's.
