Consequently, they continued their policy of attrition, adding a new weapon to their arsenal, the anti-personnel Frog-7 cluster-bomb missile. By these means, the Soviets were inflicting combat deaths on the Mujahidin at a ratio of better than thirty-to-one. They were also successful in building up the Soviet-backed People’s Democratic Army (PDA) to 302,000 by 1986.

Downfall of MobileMedia Financial catastrophe has MobileMedia Corp. in the news almost daily with talk of corruption, stockholder lawsuits and bankruptcy. But the company now faces heightened pressure from competitor Paging Network Inc., which aims to expose MobileMedia’s violations of Federal Communications Commission rules. PageNet petitioned the FCC to disclose and open for public comment MobileMedia’s rule violations, based on the premise that the violations-if deliberate-place PageNet and other paging carriers at a competitive disadvantage. MobileMedia issued a prompt reply to PageNet’s request, asking the FCC to deny the petition. In its opposition statement, prepared by counsel Latham & Watkins, Washington, D.C., MobileMedia says information submitted to the FCC about its violations is confidential, and PageNet’s petition is “little more than a transparent attempt to prolong and publicize a competitor’s regulatory problems.” The FCC has not addressed the petition publicly. In September, MobileMedia announced it discovered that, under prior management, the construction status of between 400 and 500 local paging stations were falsely reported. For about half of these stations the Form 489s, which indicate a station is built, were filed late. For the other half, the Form 489s were filed prior to completion of the stations, said MobileMedia’s Laura Wilker. First news of the FCC violations came concurrent with MobileMedia’s public disclosure of financial and operational troubles stemming from the unification of MobileMedia’s and MobileComm’s operations.

What is a problem for Palm OS these days is Palm never supplied support for WPA2/PSK2 for any models with WiFi. There’s supposedly a near mythical ‘enterprise’ software addon for the T|X that includes WPA2/PSK2 support but I’ve not been able to find it anywhere. I have a LifeDrive (microdrive replaced with 4gb CF) and a Tungsten E2, plus my old Visor Platinum. IIRC Dmitry (the palm powerups guy) was working on a WPA2 addon for Palm OS but never released it.

But it takes a little longer than I’d like to launch software or switch between running apps… or even browser tabs. The Edge web browser has a nasty habit of crashing when I have too many tabs open. And for the first time in at least a decade, I find myself occasionally typing a sentence and then waiting a few seconds for the letters to show up on the screen.

Beyond the specs, Osmo Pocket comes with a load of intelligent features that, at the push of a button, allow users to capture creative videos and photographs. It also has a battery life of over two hours.

More than any work device I’ve tried in years, the Surface Book induced moments of sheer delight. I’m no Picasso, but clicking the pen and squiggling on the open windows tapped into such a lovely childhood sense of wonder. Even if I don’t often need to draw on my screen as a journalist, sometimes you simply want want to, and don’t bother because it’s too difficult.

Windows on Arm is interesting, especially where their hybrid dynarec + native dll X86 emulation is concerned. I’d be interested in seeing windows 10 arm or IoT on this device as well at a later date. Not sure what performance would look like for non native binaries, but a triple boot in the pocket would be pretty cool. GPD pocket is ok, Im really not sure where the X27 sits against the 8750. It would be nice to see some benches on both sides.

About the only real negative thing we can say regarding the Armor 3 is that it’s on the heavy side. When you add the charger and various cables, the total weight of this device will be close to half a kilogram. That might not seem much, but for anyone trekking on foot, that’s a weight you’ll need to carry around with you everywhere.

The ThinkPad X1 Tablet proves that Lenovo can make a great detachable 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet computer. It’s not cheap, but offers similar or better specifications than its chief rival the Microsoft Surface Pro, including the much-needed modern port selection of Thunderbolt 3.
