Gemini PDA, First Take: Return of the Psion Series 5, in Android/Linux form Review | Rugged Smart Phone

You would be right to assume a phone like this doesn’t get to tout an amazing screen. This tiny panel sports a 240 x 432 resolution, which translates to a 201.7ppi density. Compare that to the over-400 pixel density of current high-end phones and things start to look a bit blurry. You can definitely see the pixels in this screen, especially when reading tiny words.

With the introduction of iOS 12 at WWDC 2018, Apple has included a new feature which allows you to scan QR code on iPhone in a hassle-free manner.

I don’t agree that a product with poor responsiveness and hefty weight can be considered a flagship or a great 2-in-1. A 5 year old laptop delivers a lot of these measurables in the same way.

But now that the U.S. has been in Afghanistan for 17 years, what should we do? I am willing to go with Trump on Syria and Afghanistan, but as a Vietnam veteran, my personal experiences give me some sympathy with the concerns of General Mattis. We should not make withdrawal a total abandonment of allies—like the Kurds in Syria and the tribes of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan—as the U.S. Congress did the South Vietnamese and Cambodians in 1975. We should not keep troops there, but we must be demonstratively committed to aid them, if future circumstances warrant.

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 optional ThinkPad Pen Pro clips into the side of the machine with a detachable holder and works well for marking up or signing documents

As befits a potentially game-changing and technologically-complex device, the Tricorder concept had caught Google’s eye. Back in 2014, the head of life sciences at what was then Google X, the company’s moonshot division, announced a cancer-detection system that would lay the foundations for the creation of a Tricorder. The system that Dr Andrew Conrad announced aimed to use magnetic nanoparticles that would attach themselves to cancer particles; a separate wrist-worn device would measure the particles to detect cancer. The system would over time form part of a real-life Tricorder, Conrad said.

The latest version for this tool, Scandit SDK 4.10 offers support for UWP apps, which means that you can use it on both Windows 10 PC and Mobile. Thanks to Scandit, you can now turn your Windows 10 device into an enterprise-grade barcode scanning and data capture tools.

5. If the camera is not detecting the code, ensure that there is adequate lighting and try zooming in or tapping the code.

There are certain aspects of the OUKITEL WP1 that stray far from perfect. The camera, material used in the rear-panel, speakers, and fingerprint scanner could all stand to be improved. None of those is really a deal breaker either. The fingerprint scanner works but will be noticeably slower for those who have used the technology before. Meanwhile, cosmetic damage to the back plate isn’t likely as big a concern as real damage for those looking into purchasing this type of handset. The kinds of issues seen with the camera and speakers are at best easy to overcome and at worse a minor nuisance. In fact, the performance, features, and really almost everything about this handset is well-aligned with typical expectations for a device in the sub-$250 price range. On the other side of that coin, OUKITEL has really outdone itself to include wireless charging here and the WP1 is worth a look for anybody in the market for an affordable but rugged smartphone.

Like many of Nintendo’s products, the Game Boy’s simple exterior and interface belied a great versatility. The little device was capable of doing far more than just play games. Part of this was due to Game Boy designer Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology", or using old technology in new ways. Because the Game Boy was built off of somewhat outdated tech, it was adaptable in ways more advanced devices couldn’t be. This led to a proliferation of oddball accessories, modifications, and attempts to turn the humble Game Boy into something resembling a modern smartphone.
