Navy Use of Laser Scanning Already Showing Big Savings; Summit This Month to Refine Plans | Rugged Smart Phone

Microsoft is working with a growing number of service providers to give its users a more seamless method to authenticate multiple accounts of importance with Windows Hello. There’s a small group of Windows Hello-compatible apps on the market today, but Microsoft says more are coming. Among the apps that can use Windows Hello now are Dropbox, Enpass, OneDrive, One Messenger and OneLocker Password Manager.

Since the early 2000s, the majority of handhelds used in DCs and carried by delivery drivers were using the Microsoft Windows CE operating system (OS). Following the 2015 announcement that support for CE would sunset, users were also told that those devices running a legacy Windows mobile OS cannot be upgraded to Microsoft’s new mobile version, called Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. At a crossroads requiring a massive overhaul, many users have opted for Android, an OS born of consumer tech that is making substantial inroads in enterprise applications.

The graphics were primitive LCDs and each handheld only played a single game. The Game Boy was made to improve on them. The system brought together Nintendo’s console and handheld divisions to make something more like a portable NES. It succeeded and alongside Mr. Game & Watch, carried on the legacy.

The phone runs stock Debian pretty much, from what I have been able to gather. And Plasma is definitely in the Debian ARM repository.

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.

Now, mind you, the flagship Surface Pro isn’t ideal used on your lap, either, but its wider body can fit across your legs much more naturally, even if you have to be careful not to move too suddenly while balancing the kickstand. With the Surface Go, the lesser body/kickstand width means you have to keep your legs close together, or else it will fall between them. That arrangement is serviceable on my lap for a quick session, but much less so for a long train ride, as it requires you to sit upright and still, and strain your neck a bit. And while the device is nicely made and feels sturdy, it’s not a ruggedized tablet you’ll feel comfortable seeing clatter to the floor.

This is the section where I’d normally post some benchmark results. I’m not going to do that here, because most common benchmarks aren’t available in the Microsoft Store and they aren’t really optimized to run on Windows 10 computers with ARM processors anyway.

"Our expectations about the medical tricorder stem from Star Trek and it’s never a good decision to base expectations on science fiction, even though many technologies have become real from science fiction in the 21st century," says Dr Bertalan Meskó, director of The Medical Futurist Institute. And it doesn’t mean we won’t need doctors, Meskó says.

As mentioned, the Surface Go’s target size and cost means a relatively modest internal-component offering. With no room for much cooling, the low-wattage CPU is a necessary choice, and it fits the general design concept and purpose of the Go. All of this is to say you shouldn’t expect blistering speeds, and indeed, it performed modestly on our benchmark tests.

“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.”

This SoC is outshone by the latest Snapdragon designs, but unless you must have the fastest possible phone, it’s more than enough power to drive this device.
