PiTalk, Gemini PDA, and Eelo take different paths to the Linux phone | Palmtop Computer

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.

64-bit apps will not work. Yes, Windows 10 on ARM can run Windows desktop applications. But it can only run 32-bit (x86) desktop applications, not 64-bit (x64) applications. (The documentation doesn’t note this, but support for x64 apps is planned for a future release.)

Handhelds were seen as something of a novelty back in the early 90s. There hadn’t been a dedicated handheld console like the Game Boy before. Most handhelds were simple and cheap, only playing a single game. Nintendo wanted to make the transition as seamless as possible. For that reason, the Game Boy has the same control scheme as the NES controller. A D-pad, an A & B button, and start and select buttons. The idea was that veteran NES Players could pick up Game Boys and play no problem. Given the Game Boy’s success, I’d say it worked.

Yes, I still have a Handspring Visor form a work project. We used a cell phone case (they actually sold us the shell) to make a EEG monitor to ensure your were “out” during surgery.

Another unconnected problem was the inclusion of a font manager app in the OS that Google immediately deactivated based on security concerns.

Run the ARM-specific version of the Geekbench benchmark for example, and you’ll see that performance is about twice as high as you’d get from the x86-version of Geekbench, which requires emulation to run.

Psychologists discovered that the longer someone played, the more they would see the block patterns in everyday life. Some people said they even dreamed about the falling blocks. This has since been dubbed Tetris Syndrome.

Hermes will gradually add new features to the software, such as enabling the delivery driver to send electronic notification cards to replace the current paper cards.

Google Glass teased an interesting future, but failed to deliver on its promise. Today, Toshiba picks up where Glass left off, with a pair of Augmented Reality (AR) glasses powered by a mini Windows 10 PC.
