Gemini PDA will ship with Android, but has support for Linux | Palmtop Computer

There’s something to be said for a device that does one thing, and does it well. Without the disadvantages of a jack-of-all-trade with it’s size, and track-ability, not to mention security.

The entire OS is present as well as all of the expected UI but scaled way down to the point where things can be a bit difficult to read if the font size is set too small. It will be a challenge for older users or those who may be visually impaired to use this handset. Thankfully, Android’s easy-to-read icons help out with the navigation side of things. The virtual keyboard is actually surprisingly easy to type with despite that a single finger can easily cover more than three of the digital keys. That’s without even using swipe inputs. Although that option would likely improve things further, typing was accurate enough that we didn’t feel the need to ever turn that on. That’s not to say it’s at all perfect. We did manage to bungle putting in a password or three upon first use but several log-ins later errors stopped happening with any noticeable frequency. All of the expected Google software and stock tools such as a clock and file manager are present.

Shortly after the introduction of the protocol this spring, Microsoft said it was testing the use of supported devices – such as those from Yubico, HID and Feitian – in limited preview to enable users to sign in to Windows 10 devices using two-factor authentication.

The other feature that is a higher specification than we were expecting is the mobile communications platform that is truly global in the channels and ranges it supports. In theory, you should be able to use this phone in any country, because it handles 2G, 3G and 4G-LTE across a very large range of frequencies.

No Hyper-V. This was a gray area previously—I’ve heard the phrase “it’s just Windows 10, so it will work” several times—but now it’s real: Hyper-V is not supported in Windows 10 on ARM.

Its PCMark 8 Work Conventional test is on the low side for modern systems, and it didn’t match up too well against some of the competition. (It should be noted, though, that having a higher screen resolution hurts this score, and the Lenovo Flex 6 11, for example, only offers a 720p display). I included both the Miix 320 and the more expensive Lenovo Miix 520 for comparison since the Surface Go’s price can scale closer to either of them depending on the SKU and keyboard.

Andromeda is dead lol, plenty of articles written about it recently. Set off quite a storm among the fans still holding out hope for a new Microsoft mobile device. Microsoft is all but done with the mobile market at the moment. As for the Windows 10 CoreOS with CShell, there hasn’t been much said about that for awhile. In the software industry, that would be considered vaporware by now.

The technologies being developed and deployed are very repeatable for the SMB space, Stubbs says. The combination of warehouse management software with warehouse execution and/or warehouse control systems allow users to marry up human tasks with automation, he adds, and all of it is scalable.

Windows Hello is a biometrics-based technology that enables Windows 10 users to authenticate secure access to their devices, apps, online services and networks with just a fingerprint, iris scan or facial recognition. The sign-in mechanism is essentially an alternative to passwords and is widely considered to be a more user friendly, secure and reliable method to access critical devices, services and data than traditional logins using passwords.

I just have to wonder if the design of the hinge and the display connection (ribbon cable) will hold up batter than they did with Psion 5, which was rather notorious for those being the weakest links in terms of hardware.

Even as automation hits parts of the supply chain, human employees are still needed to work alongside automatons. Augmented reality combines the strength and precision of a robot with the decision-making and intuition of a human to create a formidable pair.
