Remember Palm, the company behind those handheld PDAs (no, not that kind of PDA) that were so prevalent in the 90s? It’s back Monday with something truly weird: The Palm, a tiny Android-powered smartphone that’s meant to supplement, not replace, your current handset. You can’t even buy the Palm on its own — it’s available only as an add-on to your existing smartphone plan, and, at least for now, only on Verizon.
The design of the Unihertz Atom is its biggest selling point. The idea is simple: take the power and functionality of the Android OS and compress it into a tiny package. Unihertz did this with the Jelly phone, but things are quite different this time around.
Produced by a company called Fabtek, the Work Boy was a weird peripheral aimed at turning the handheld into an office tool. It came with a keyboard, along with software for a clock, day planner, and currency converter. The Work Boy was never released and that’s for the best. At $80, it would have cost as much as a Game Boy.
Featuring the MediaTek Helio P60 chipset (2.0GHz octa-core), 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the handset aims to serve the public who are looking for a smartphone that will withstand crashes and other accidents, without breaking.
CareView Communications (OTCMKTS:CRVW) and QUALCOMM (NASDAQ:QCOM) are both medical companies, but which is the better business? We will contrast the two businesses based on the strength of their profitability, analyst recommendations, institutional ownership, risk, earnings, dividends and valuation.
When you’re on the run, and you just need to quickly print some photos, you’re going to want to look at the best portable printers. You can forget about printers being big, bulky and beige devices that need 20 different wires.
All this ruggedness makes it an ideal device for anyone who works outdoors or in a harsh environment, but it may also appeal to people who are sick of expensive repair bills. The Cat S48c comes with a one-year extended warranty that includes free screen replacement if you manage to break your display.
Broadly speaking, most rugged smartphones have to make trade-offs to reach their design goals, such as using an inelegant chassis, mediocre hardware inside, or rather ordinary displays. While the general reasons behind such design decisions are more or less obvious (e.g., keep their BOM costs and heat soak in check), there are many people who prefer to have a rugged smartphone without making quite so many compromises. The Ulefone Armor 6 in turn is looking to carve out a niche for itself in that market by offering a rugged design with above-average hardware.
Starting off with Toughbook FZ-T1, it’s a rugged Android smartphone that’s pretty slim, durable and feature-packed. It features a 5-inch HD screen, with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, rain and glove mode, along with passive stylus input support.
If you’re in the market for a top-end 2-in-1 Windows 10 detachable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet should be on your list.
Scan is a fast and user-friendly QR reader and barcode scanner. It’s easy to use, simply install it, turn on your computer’s camera and you’re ready to go. Scan is a very reliable app, it catches even blurry barcodes, and it doesn’t bring any unwanted ads.
If you still have a Palm OS PDA that works, all the stuff at https://palmpowerups.com/ is now freeware.
