Panasonic just unveiled a rugged smartphone that isn’t heavy enough to hold a door open | Handheld Delivery Device

The Armor 3 comes either as entirely black or black with orange highlights, so you can always plump for the latter if you prefer a more sporty appearance for your phone.

Like many of Nintendo’s products, the Game Boy’s simple exterior and interface belied a great versatility. The little device was capable of doing far more than just play games. Part of this was due to Game Boy designer Gunpei Yokoi’s philosophy of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology", or using old technology in new ways. Because the Game Boy was built off of somewhat outdated tech, it was adaptable in ways more advanced devices couldn’t be. This led to a proliferation of oddball accessories, modifications, and attempts to turn the humble Game Boy into something resembling a modern smartphone.

Microsoft already tried that, it’s called Windows RT. It failed pretty horribly. There is no great rush by developers to code for the Windows app store. You could just as easily slim Windows down by removing the store apps half of Windows.

Meanwhile, Ronald Reagan, empowered by a reelection landside, signed a national security directive committing U. S. support to Afghan resistance “by all available means.” The CIA was also successful in persuading Reagan to supply the Mujahidin with the new shoulder-fired, heat-seeking Stinger anti-aircraft missile.

I’d forgotten what it was like to click a button and then have to wait a moment for something to happen before figuring out if the click had registered, or to type a line of text and wait for it to show up on the screen before I can see if there are any typos.

To make it less like a slab of metal, plastic and glass, the designers bevelled the edges so that should it fall on a corner the impact is distributed. The corners, back and ends are constructed from glass-reinforced plastic, contrasting with metal sides, reinforcing the perception that the P8 can handle some abuse without immediately failing.

When I’m in a rhythm, and my system’s working, and I slide open the side door and the parcel I’m looking for practically jumps into my hand, and the delivery takes 35 seconds and I’m on to the next one, I enjoy this gig. I like that it’s challenging, mentally and physically. As with the athletic contests I covered for my old employer, there’s a resolution, every day. I get to the end of my route, or I don’t. I deliver all the packages, or I don’t.

Let’s face it, when you’re a college-educated 57-year-old slinging parcels for a living, something in your life has not gone according to plan. That said, my moments of chagrin are far outnumbered by the upsides of the job, which include windfall connections with grateful strangers. There’s a certain novelty, after decades at a legacy media company—Time Inc.—in playing for the team that’s winning big, that’s not considered a dinosaur, even if that team is paying me $17 an hour (plus OT!). It’s been healthy for me, a fair-haired Anglo-Saxon with a Roman numeral in my name (John Austin Murphy III), to be a minority in my workplace, and in some of the neighborhoods where I deliver. As Amazon reaches maximum ubiquity in our lives (“Alexa, play Led Zeppelin”), as online shopping turns malls into mausoleums, it’s been illuminating to see exactly how a package makes the final leg of its journey.

Built around the MediaTek MT6763T Helio P23 eight-core processor, it comes with 4GB of RAM and a healthy 64GB of flash storage.
