Normal processes like checking email, going through social media, messaging, and requesting an Uber ride showed no issues. Of course, you won’t get the smoothness of a Snapdragon 845 when scrolling and opening apps, but the Unihertz Atom takes on every casual task with no hiccups. Once again, it’s usable. You wouldn’t expect much else from any device at this price point.

If a user has difficulty positioning the iQ, AI algorithms detect the probe’s location and recognize what the user is most likely trying to scan. AR symbols direct the user where to position the probe. “The user points the phone’s camera at the probe and they get a 3-D arrow telling them to move up or tilt it,” Sanchez says. “We’ve pulled people off the street and had them find a valid view of the heart in about a minute and a half.”

Wall Street questions the future of paging, cellular WASHINGTON-The cellular and paging industries experienced similar declines in revenue per subscriber and operating expenses this year. But despite jitters on Wall Street, the operating performance of most wireless companies remains strong, said Economic Management Consultant International Inc. in its report, “Financial Benchmarks in the Cellular and Paging Industries.” EMCI concluded the cellular industry experienced “steadily declining revenues per subscriber as new low-use subscribers were attracted to the service.” In addition, it said cellular will face increasing pressure on revenues per subscriber as personal communications services networks come online. However, falling operating expenses exceeded falling revenues, EMCI said. It cost only $8 for service per subscriber in 1996, compared with $11 per month in 1993. The paging industry experienced falling stocks, EMCI said, causing concerns about paging’s role in the future of wireless communications. … Read more

But it wasn’t until I took my first tea break of the day that I realized how the laptop form factor is weirdly cumbersome. If I want to keep reading an article while putting the kettle on, I have to cradle my device like a cold, aluminum baby. Apple’s solution to this is Continuity: open your phone, call up the task switcher and a bar along the bottom invites you to transfer your current task onto your handheld device. It’s not exactly seamless, and the switchover does take some time. With the Surface Book, task-switching is more intuitive: press the keyboard button, wait a moment, and pull the screen off to take it with you.

New Android handheld computer built on Honeywell’s Mobility Edge platform and industrial-grade barcode scanner help store associates provide superior customer service, manage store inventory (by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer) Honeywell continued fleshing out its line of enterprise-oriented Dolphin mobile computers with the introduction of the Dolphin CT40 on May 23, 2018. The new Dolphin CT40 was designed to be a one-stop device for retail store associates and other mobile workers that can handle everything from order picking at a distribution center to in-store merchandising to home delivery and more. In contrast to Honeywell’s Dolphin 70e and 75e that were conceived as more durable, more rugged versions of consumer smartphones, the CT40 places more emphasis on the handheld computer side. This is both a productivity tool as well as an industrial-grade scanner. The Dolphin CT40′s 3.0 x 6.4 inch footprint is roughly that of an Apple iPhone 8 Plus in a protective case. The CT40 was designed to be considerably more durable than consumer devices and that adds a bit weight, but at just just under 10 ounces the CT40 won’t weigh users down. While trendy consumer phones now have screens that fill the entire surface of the device, the more practical nature of a handheld for business mandates a bezel around the LCD perimeter. That allows a stronger chassis and eliminates inadvertent touches as are common on consumer phones with edge-to-edge screens. The Dolphin CT40′s display measures 5.0 inches diagonally and features 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, or 294 (dpi dots per inch). That’s a bit less than premium consumer phones, but sharper than anything available on a desktop or notebook, and also a good deal more than the retina iPads. The CT40 uses capacitive multi-touch and its display surface is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 that’s specially formulated to protect against high falls onto hard, rough surfaces. Impressive technology Ever since the Dolphin 75e was introduced in 2015, Honeywell has been focusing on what the company calls "next-generation workforce solutions." That refers to adoption of state-of-the-art hardware and software technology as the foundation of products and solutions to come. The new CT40 clearly demonstrates Honeywell’s determination to push the envelope. Processing power comes from the same competent, brawny 2.2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 that’s already doing duty in the recently (October 2017) introduced Dolphin CT60. There’s 2GB or 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB of Flash storage. If more is needed, there’s a micro SDXC card slot that can handle cards up to 512GB. WiFi is of the speedy 802.11ac variety, Bluetooth is at Version 5.0, and there’s a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with flash. And the CT40 has four onboard sensors (light, proximity, gyro, accelerometer). It’s all Android now, and it won’t become obsolete On the OS side the CT40 comes with Android 7.1.1 "Nougat." According to the Android Developers site (see here), as of late May 2018 Version 7.x has a roughly 1/3 marketshare of all Android versions. Easing longtime Android customer fears that the OS version on their device will quickly become obsolete, Honeywell’s "Mobility Edge Platform" promises support for four generations of Android — Nougat through Q. That’s huge. Those familiar with older Honeywell mobile computers will find that, like all recent models, the CT40 handheld is only available with Android. Several earlier Honeywell handhelds offered a choice between Android and mobile versions of Windows. But with Microsoft stopping further development of Windows 10 Mobile, it didn’t make much sense to offer an abandoned OS in a new product. Multiple input and communication modes Honeywell emphasizes the multiple input mode capabilities of the CT40 and seamless integration with Honeywell Connected applications as well as third-party apps like MDM, Push-To-Talk and VoIP. And that’s on top of NFC communication and 1D/2D scanning (either a Honeywell N3601 or Honeywell N6603 Slim Imager), so that this new Dolphin handheld cannot only scan, but also record voice notes, capture digital signatures and allow image annotations. On the wireless communications side, the CT40 includes virtually all varieties of 3G and 4G LTE/LTE Advanced mobile broadband. There’s also integrated GNSS with simultaneous GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidu support. Tough enough The Dolphin CT40 was primarily designed for indoor use and light-duty field mobility, so we’re not talking ultra-rugged. As is, the CT40 carries IP64 sealing, which means it’s completely dustproof and can also handle water sprayed at it from all directions. It can handle 4-foot drops (6-foot in rubber boot), operate with a 14° to 122°F temperature range, and it also passed a tough tumble test. This Honeywell mobile computer can handle much, much more abuse than any modern consumer phone. Intelligent solution, intelligent investment With the Dolphin CT40, Honeywell presents a sleek, powerful, and quite versatile mobile computer that won’t break on the job. It provides enterprise customers with an attractive future-proof solution that’s easily configured and managed via Honeywell’s Mobility Edge tools and platform. The CT40 can boost productivity with standard, familiar Android functionality, special Honeywell applications, a complete roster of communications technologies, and quick, reliable industrial-grade scanning. — Conrad H.

On the bright side, the notebook’s stereo speakers are pretty good. They offer decent volume and clarity, although like most laptop speakers, they don’t provide a lot of bass.
