The phone comes with an IP68 rating that ensures dust-proofing and waterproofing. The company claims that the handset can survive temperatures from -20℃ to 60℃, so you can take it up on that mountain hike or down to the beach without any worries. It comes with MIL-STD-810G grade protection and also has a customized UV detector.

In short, just too many cost-cutting choices have been made with the Poptel P8, and for less than £20 ($25) more you can buy another Chinese-made waterproof design with four times the storage, twice the memory, a better screen, fast charging and an eight-core processor (namely the Cubot King Kong 3).

But Palm’s “phone companion” pitch quickly breaks down for exactly the same reason most people don’t have separate workday and weekend rides: Cost. The Palm is $349.99, then you have to pay Verizon every month to keep it on your plan. Even if the idea of a smartphone sidekick is appealing, that pricing is going to be prohibitive for a lot of people — though you have to begrudgingly respect the tech industry’s brazen attempt at getting people to buy not one but two smartphones. And while the Palm is a welcome experiment in a generally snoozy gadget category, it’s not likely to become a massive hit, even with a celeb endorsement from Stephen Curry.

A WiFi-only model will sell for $499 once the Gemini PDA hits retail, while a 4G LTE-capable version will run $599.

Insulet recently reported earnings for the third quarter of 2018. Revenue for Q3 came in at a record $151 million, representing an increase of 24% year-on-year. Operating income came in at $7 million, keeping the company on track for the first profitable year in its history. Gross margins have expanded to 67.5%, up 700 basis points year-on-year, an important factor of Insulet’s move towards profitability. Management has also provided guidance for growth for the fourth quarter, estimating revenue growth of between 22% and 26%.

The benchmark results are remarkably similar to those of the identically powered Doogee S80, although the flash memory in this device isn’t as quick, impacting on the Androbench read and write scores.

Judging by the Surface Go announcement, WoA’s future is really up in the air. There was no reason not to make the Surface Go a WoA device, and yet, despite Intel’s lack of proper mobile chipsets now, Microsoft still opted to go Intel’s Pentium line for the tablet even for the LTE version of the Surface Go despite Qualcomm SoC’s having obvious advantages in that area. Given Microsoft’s track record with Windows Phone, Zune, Groove, Windows RT, and so on, it’s hard not to question Microsoft’s commitment to WoA. High priced WoA devices are not going to attract consumers much like how the Xbox One had a slow start due in part to the pricing differences with the PS4. And opting to make your own 1st party reference device (as was the original purpose of the Surface line) not a WoA device speaks volumes. The last time this happened was… Read more »

I had a palm in high school. I can remember everyone making fun of it…. 10 years later we had smartphones. lol

Unihertz has followed up on its previous micro-smartphone, the Jelly, with a rugged masterpiece in minuscule engineering called the Atom, offering a full Android experience in the smallest durability-focused form factor ever devised. Of course, that means that there is a laundry list of trade-offs and only a relatively small niche audience who the Atom might appeal to in the long-term. Throughout our time with this handset, the novelty of that didn’t really wear off and using the phone was plenty of fun thanks to well-optimized inputs and generally great performance — for what this is. But problems did arise in terms of day-to-day use, admittedly mostly because some text is difficult to read without brilliant eyesight. Furthermore, audio quality isn’t awesome and the camera suffers some issues. That does not, however, mean that this device is any less worthy of consideration. For a number of users and lifestyles, in fact, the Unihertz Atom will be a perfect fit precisely because of its small size and durability.

His solution might have been to follow the herd and use a smartphone, but he went instead for the unconventional and produced his own PDA. And after a few prototypes, he’s come up with rather a well-executed take on the ’90s object of desire. Taking an ARM microcontroller board and a commodity resistive touchscreen, he’s clad them in a 3D-printed PDA case and produced his own software stack. He’s not prepared to release it just yet as he’s ashamed of some of its internal messiness, but lets hope that changes with time.

Fact.MR estimates that powered ENT surgical system will also register considerable demand in 2019. Powered ENT instruments are used in procedures such as removal of soft tissue, hard tissue and bone during surgery. On the other hand, the ENT visualization systems are growing at a faster pace and over 9% y-o-y growth is expected in 2019.
