“As a result, managers might invest in different size trailers, or specialized decking to double stack, or entertain any number of other solutions, but without hard data it’s kind of guesswork,” Wheeler says. “With better visibility into what’s actually happening, management teams can identify the right investments in the long term. In the short term, they can react in real time to issues without roaming the docks and just hoping to spot an issue.”

When you combine great battery life and an acceptable camera, the King Kong 3 represents remarkable value for money, and is a decent travel phone for many international destinations.

Unihertz has followed up on its previous micro-smartphone, the Jelly, with a rugged masterpiece in minuscule engineering called the Atom, offering a full Android experience in the smallest durability-focused form factor ever devised. Of course, that means that there is a laundry list of trade-offs and only a relatively small niche audience who the Atom might appeal to in the long-term. Throughout our time with this handset, the novelty of that didn’t really wear off and using the phone was plenty of fun thanks to well-optimized inputs and generally great performance — for what this is. But problems did arise in terms of day-to-day use, admittedly mostly because some text is difficult to read without brilliant eyesight. Furthermore, audio quality isn’t awesome and the camera suffers some issues. That does not, however, mean that this device is any less worthy of consideration. For a number of users and lifestyles, in fact, the Unihertz Atom will be a perfect fit precisely because of its small size and durability.

As this design has a 5.5-inch screen, it makes the Kong 3 large, but hardly excessively big. And, without accessories, the phone weighs 285g, which for an IP68 phone with a big battery, places it on the lighter end of the robust phone scales.

But we digress – this is what Cubot called the handset, and the numbering hints that this is the third incarnation of the King Kong design to come from this Shenzhen-based company.

What this project shows is how it is now so much easier to make near commercial quality one-off projects from scratch. Accessible 3D printing has become so commonplace as to be mundane in our community, but it’s worth remembering just how much of a game-changer it has been.

Great screen, robust design, brilliant keyboard and Thunderbolt 3 make the third-generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet a potent combination

Remember Palm, the company behind those handheld PDAs (no, not that kind of PDA) that were so prevalent in the 90s? It’s back Monday with something truly weird: The Palm, a tiny Android-powered smartphone that’s meant to supplement, not replace, your current handset. You can’t even buy the Palm on its own — it’s available only as an add-on to your existing smartphone plan, and, at least for now, only on Verizon.

Consider the Asus X200CA with 2GB of RAM, a Celeron 1007U processor, then-standard 1366×768 display, and an upgrade from spinning rust to a cheap SSD is going to deliver a similar performance experience except for the over-10-hour battery life & 4G, features that were simply not available in budget 2013 devices. But it will run anything that can be installed on the OS you use, with coverage from Windows 7 to Linux Mint.

Still use my T/X every day. best PDA ever. Paid about $400 for it around 2006. like to see your smart phone still work after 12 years.

It is a bit of a shame that the Surface Go doesn’t come with a keyboard in the box. This, alas, is usual practice for the Surface tablets. I understand it would drive the price up, but in this particular case, the device becomes much more useful with one. At this size, propping up the Surface Go on a desk in laptop mode without a keyboard isn’t the most useful layout. The Surface Go has its uses in tablet mode, and the default consumer OS (Windows 10 S) is built for poking and tapping. But not having the ability to type or use a touchpad to navigate Windows is not ideal.

Ulefone said that its Armor 6 smartphone will ship in 2019, though they aren’t supplying an exact timeframe. The company also hasn’t yet announced a price, though if it’s any pattern, the company’s current-gen high-end rugged smartphones run for $350 – $370 in the US.
