The real question is whether people will make a bit of room for this phone in their pockets, or if it’s just a cool novelty we only want at first.

This lag makes taking pictures a rather haphazard exercise, as the framing of the captured image rarely matches the image which was on-screen when a snap was initiated.

It sports a 7-inch HD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, along with rain and glove mode, and passive stylus support. Toughbook FZ-L1 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm MSM8909 SoC, clocked at 1.1GHz, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage.

As for why the PDA seems to have gone away, it actually hasn’t. It merged with the cell phone to make smartphones, or expanded in size to become tablets.

So is it fair to judge the NovaGo as a laptop computer? It’d be hard not to. It looks like a laptop. It runs an operating system that looks and functions almost exactly like Windows. And it’s priced like a mid-range notebook.

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.

I got a Palm pilot III. It had it’s serial port or a backpack modem so it could dial out on a land line directly from your contacts.

Springs play an important role in the automotive, healthcare and medical, and agricultural industries, impacting performance and helping provide optimal operating scenarios. However, it is vital that the correct type of spring is chosen from the large variety of types on the market.

Chiptune is a relatively new musical genre. Inspired by the video game soundtracks of the 8 and 16-bit eras, it looks to recreate that signature electronic pixelated sound. Of course, that’s not something you can replicate with drums or a guitar, so chiptune musicians use Game Boys instead. Entire cartridges of software have been created to help get the best sounds and notes out of the handhelds. Little Sound DJ (or LSDJ) and Nanoloop are among the most popular. If you’re interested, there are plenty of tutorials online showing people how to mod their Game Boys and make music themselves.

DJI have long had ambitions beyond the consumer drone market. A natural move has been to branch out into professional and amateur photography, through the Ronin series and the Osmo range respectively. The Chinese manufacturer has just launched a new handheld camera/gimbal combo, the Osmo Pocket, which could be the most ‘mainstream’ device DJI has ever taken to market.
