Apple iPhone event: Remembering Apple’s biggest product failures | Palmtop Computer

An interesting concept but for it to really take off A) the price must come down B) Arm chips need to be faster C) More Arm native software on MS Store and Windows desktop.

In addition, plenty of apps are not optimized for such a tiny display, which often an issue. Some elements will be too large. One clear example is the time stamp on Facebook Messenger. This is an issue you will encounter often, and it’s not exactly Unihertz’ fault. Developers should fix this, and unless these tiny phones become a trend, they likely won’t.

Toughbook as a Service Panasonic launched its new Toughbook-as-a-Service earlier this year. It’s a unique, interest free, monthly payment model for rugged devices. Businesses can now equip their mobile workforces with any rugged Panasonic Toughbook notebook, tablet or handheld device without having to worry about large upfront costs in capital expenditure.

However, just before we finished our review, a new update dated October arrived, alleviating a concern we had about Android updates.

The X1 Tablet feels like it can take a beating and will survive the rigours of mobile working, which is what it was designed for. The screen is great, and at 13in is an ideal size, the kickstand and keyboard are brilliant and performance is top-notch.

Pinole, incidentally, is the hometown of the ex–Miami Hurricanes quarterback Gino Torretta, a great guy who won the Heisman Trophy in 1992. I covered him then, and a few years later when he was playing for the Rhein Fire in the NFL’s World League. Gino and I hoisted a stein or two at a beer hall in Düsseldorf. Some of the American players were having trouble enunciating the German farewell, auf Wiedersehen. To solve that problem, they would say these words as rapidly as possible: Our feet are the same!

The Gemini is the most luxurious of all. Spec wise, it’s a smartphone with a keyboard: 6-inch, 1080p 18:9 screen, Mediatek Helio X27 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage plus a MicroSD card. It can boot into either Android 7.1, or a Linux command-line—the latter function will make it a dream troubleshooting device for sysadmins and IT professionals.

Along with the screwdriver, Ulefone includes lots of accessories in the box with the phone, such as two different power adapters to enable you to change it with a USB charger, if you forgot the Type-C one provided.

When the package containing our Unihertz Atom test unit arrived, it was small enough to be easily- confused for a smartwatch before closer inspection. In spite of its size, it does contain a fair number of inclusions beginning with the smartphone itself and a film-style screen protector. Buyers will find a USB Type-A to cornered USB Type-C cable under that as well as a wall adapter and a premium cloth tube lanyard. Finally, a user manual and a pamphlet outlining the 12-month warranty are included alongside a SIM tool. All but the lanyard are fairly standard inclusions to be packed in with a smartphone but this handset really doesn’t require much by way of extras.
