Head-To-Head Analysis: Cisco Systems (CSCO) against Interphase (INPHQ) | Windows 10 Handheld Scanner

IIRC Hewlett Packard used to have free downloads of all the software, PCB files, parts list etc for building a PDA. The specified screen was monochrome and only something like 160×200 pixels. Since it was way before the advent of cheap desktop 3D printing, an enclosure was up to the builder.

The specification of this phone mirrors a large number of Chinese-produced devices we’ve seen. They all use the MediaTek MT6763T (Helio P23) octa-core processor and ARM Mali G71 MP2 GPU combination, and on the Armor 3, this CPU is clocked to its maximum 2.5GHz.

This probably isn’t a critical issue, but in the wake of the problems that Huawei is having in respect of compromised hardware, Chinese companies need to be squeaky clean for Western customers, and bundling a tool that Google rejects immediately as a security threat isn’t advisable.

The fact that the company has had to put back the Q-POC’s launch date from 2016 to 2019 shows that miniaturisation is no small task. In fact, it’s one of the key challenges that exists for building a Tricorder: the technology that doctors use to diagnose illnesses already exists, but it often exists in large, discrete machines, often spread around different parts of a hospital. Tricorders have to bring all of those capabilities into a single device that can be carried by one person.

The device comes in black and black with red color variants, while it sports two cameras on the back. Below those two cameras, which are vertically-aligned, you will notice an LED flash, and a fingerprint scanner right below it. The phone’s bezels are not too thick, especially considering this is a rugged smartphone, while the device’s physical keys are all located on the right-hand side of the device. The phone features a 6.2-inch fullHD+ (2246 x 1080) display (with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection), 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 256GB via a microSD card). The device is fueled by MediaTek’s Helio P60 64-bit octa-core processor, while a 5,000mAh battery is also a part of the package, and it supports 18W fast charging. In addition to that, you also have wireless charging at your disposal here, 10W Qi wireless charging.

When you check your email on a regular smartphone, you are bombarded with information and distractions. What you mean to be a quick look can easily turn into a multi-hour hole filled with games and cat videos. With the Unihertz Atom you do what you have to do and get on with your life. The price and purpose make its shortcomings more bearable.

Traditional ultrasound machines rely on vibrating crystals and other components to produce ultrasound images. These are generally large, stationary machines that cost anywhere from $15,000 to $100,000. But the startup’s device, called iQ, which resembles an electric razor that plugs into an iPhone lightning jack, essentially puts an entire ultrasound system on a chip, meaning it’s portable and sells for about $2,000.

A universal port under the Osmo Pocket’s touchscreen allows users to connect their mobile devices. They can then use the new DJI Mimo app to view the live feed on a bigger screen and take advantage of more intelligent features and recording modes, which include:

The new UPSNav navigation tool is part of that effort alongside the recent deployment of the first phase of UPS’s Network Planning Tools (NPT), which use advanced analytics to help the company direct package volume more efficiently across its network and to make the best use of capacity at sorting facilities.

Still have an SL-5500.. not too terribly useful nowadays, the Angstrom/OpenEmbedded toolchain no longer supports it :/

That’s about where benefits end, though. Typing is also cumbersome with the Palm companion, even if not as much, thanks to the extra finger room you get from the 3.3-inch display. The battery is a joke at 800mAh. The camera is also bad.

Graphics were never the Game Boy’s strong suit, even back in the day. Its main competition, the Atari Lynx and the Sega Game Gear both had better graphics. Both were in color too. Despite this, the Game Boy managed to outsell them both. This was for a number of reasons. First of all, it was just cheaper. A new Game Boy cost $89.99 whereas the Atari Lynx retailed at $179.99. Second, the simpler graphics gave the Game Boy a much longer battery life. And lastly, it just had more games including hits like Tetris and Pokémon. Looking good ain’t everything.
