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.
Apple should be worried about the Surface Book 2. The keyboard is solid, the trackpad feels as responsive as the MacBook Pro, and the hardware looks and feels premium. Microsoft has given users a good set of reasons to jump ship, but in the cloud-connected world of today, the jump is perhaps more dramatic than it would have been back in Steve Jobs’ day. For the first time in a while, though, I find myself jealous of PC users.
The handheld nature and full Windows 10 OS may also have appeal to the medical sector, where on-the-go professionals can carry the device from room to room to show charts, images, and information, then snap on a keyboard for limited data input.
“If you are operating in a way that does not provide that kind of work satisfaction it can erode morale,” says Stubbs, noting a WERC study that found 43% of DC executives have trouble with turnover, and the biggest reason was low morale. “A company that embraces these technologies can reward employees for going above and beyond. The paper environment is very subjective, and not in real time. Technology makes the work more interesting.”
The Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3 is another portable printer designed for photos. It essentially turns your smartphone into a retro instant camera, like a Polaroid, with the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3 printing out photos on square printouts. Rather than using an instant camera, just send your photos from your via to the printer via a wireless connection and the Instax Share app. It’s small enough to be carried around easily and the rechargeable battery lasts a good while. Print media is costly, however, and it’s only good for printing retro-inspired photos. If you need a portable printer for documents as well, the Canon PIXMA iP110 (above) is a better choice.

For over a year we’ve been treated to the fantasy that Windows 10 on ARM was the same as Windows 10 on x86. But it’s a bit more nuanced than that.
The S840 works with our ever-expanding line of DuraCase solutions. Compatible with popular mobile devices, DuraCase is ideal for mobile workers who are looking to use a handheld device and scanner, protect their devices, and prefer the convenience of a single charging device.
The primary camera included in the Unihertz Atom is a mixed bag. On the one hand, well-lit shots can turn out very well and color capture is unbelievably accurate but it also has quite a few shortcomings. Not least amongst those is the fact that even relatively tame and diffuse light coming from behind the subject will wash out the resulting picture with a high-level of consistency. Meanwhile, indoor shots are a challenge to take due to the size of the phone. Not only do the sensors begin to lose detail as light dwindles but the sensor struggles to capture images in those conditions because of how difficult it can be to hold the Atom itself still. We saw quite a bit of blur in indoor shots despite taking those multiple times. Of course, a photographer with a more stable hand or smaller hands might not have those issues and there are plenty of features as there would be on larger devices — such as HDR mode, filters, and other finer controls. Not every user’s experience with this camera will be the same but it was a low point from this device for us. The face-unlock feature, contrarily, worked very well even in low-lit circumstances. That’s not to say it is the most secure since it only utilizes a single camera sensor, making it impossible for more advanced face recognition features to be implemented.
New Android handheld computer built on Honeywell’s Mobility Edge platform and industrial-grade barcode scanner help store associates provide superior customer service, manage store inventory (by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer) Honeywell continued fleshing out its line of enterprise-oriented Dolphin mobile computers with the introduction of the Dolphin CT40 on May 23, 2018. The new Dolphin CT40 was designed to be a one-stop device for retail store associates and other mobile workers that can handle everything from order picking at a distribution center to in-store merchandising to home delivery and more. 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. The Dolphin CT40′s 3.0 x 6.4 inch footprint is roughly that of an Apple iPhone 8 Plus in a protective case. The CT40 was designed to be considerably more durable than consumer devices and that adds a bit weight, but at just just under 10 ounces the CT40 won’t weigh users down. While trendy consumer phones now have screens that fill the entire surface of the device, the more practical nature of a handheld for business mandates a bezel around the LCD perimeter. That allows a stronger chassis and eliminates inadvertent touches as are common on consumer phones with edge-to-edge screens. The Dolphin CT40′s display measures 5.0 inches diagonally and features 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, or 294 (dpi dots per inch). That’s a bit less than premium consumer phones, but sharper than anything available on a desktop or notebook, and also a good deal more than the retina iPads. The CT40 uses capacitive multi-touch and its display surface is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 that’s specially formulated to protect against high falls onto hard, rough surfaces. Impressive technology Ever since the Dolphin 75e was introduced in 2015, Honeywell has been focusing on what the company calls "next-generation workforce solutions." That refers to adoption of state-of-the-art hardware and software technology as the foundation of products and solutions to come. The new CT40 clearly demonstrates Honeywell’s determination to push the envelope. Processing power comes from the same competent, brawny 2.2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 that’s already doing duty in the recently (October 2017) introduced Dolphin CT60. There’s 2GB or 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 32GB of Flash storage. If more is needed, there’s a micro SDXC card slot that can handle cards up to 512GB. WiFi is of the speedy 802.11ac variety, Bluetooth is at Version 5.0, and there’s a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with flash. And the CT40 has four onboard sensors (light, proximity, gyro, accelerometer). It’s all Android now, and it won’t become obsolete On the OS side the CT40 comes with Android 7.1.1 "Nougat." According to the Android Developers site (see here), as of late May 2018 Version 7.x has a roughly 1/3 marketshare of all Android versions. Easing longtime Android customer fears that the OS version on their device will quickly become obsolete, Honeywell’s "Mobility Edge Platform" promises support for four generations of Android — Nougat through Q. That’s huge. Those familiar with older Honeywell mobile computers will find that, like all recent models, the CT40 handheld is only available with Android. Several earlier Honeywell handhelds offered a choice between Android and mobile versions of Windows. But with Microsoft stopping further development of Windows 10 Mobile, it didn’t make much sense to offer an abandoned OS in a new product. Multiple input and communication modes Honeywell emphasizes the multiple input mode capabilities of the CT40 and seamless integration with Honeywell Connected applications as well as third-party apps like MDM, Push-To-Talk and VoIP. And that’s on top of NFC communication and 1D/2D scanning (either a Honeywell N3601 or Honeywell N6603 Slim Imager), so that this new Dolphin handheld cannot only scan, but also record voice notes, capture digital signatures and allow image annotations. On the wireless communications side, the CT40 includes virtually all varieties of 3G and 4G LTE/LTE Advanced mobile broadband. There’s also integrated GNSS with simultaneous GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and Beidu support. Tough enough The Dolphin CT40 was primarily designed for indoor use and light-duty field mobility, so we’re not talking ultra-rugged. As is, the CT40 carries IP64 sealing, which means it’s completely dustproof and can also handle water sprayed at it from all directions. It can handle 4-foot drops (6-foot in rubber boot), operate with a 14° to 122°F temperature range, and it also passed a tough tumble test. This Honeywell mobile computer can handle much, much more abuse than any modern consumer phone. Intelligent solution, intelligent investment With the Dolphin CT40, Honeywell presents a sleek, powerful, and quite versatile mobile computer that won’t break on the job. It provides enterprise customers with an attractive future-proof solution that’s easily configured and managed via Honeywell’s Mobility Edge tools and platform. The CT40 can boost productivity with standard, familiar Android functionality, special Honeywell applications, a complete roster of communications technologies, and quick, reliable industrial-grade scanning. — Conrad H.
